Not knowing the consequence of good and evil karmas, he is afflicted and hurt. Nevertheless, he, due to his egotism, piles up more karmas and undergoes births and deaths again and again.
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
A man who is averse to harming even the wind knows the sorrow of all living things.
He who is in the fire, and he who is here in the heart, and he who is yonder in the sun - he is One.
Likewise the spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows the mind of the spirit, because the spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
