Life is busy. There are daily obligations that have to be met. Take time to think about how precious and special human life is - you only get one such life. Every wasted minute is lost. You can’t get it back.
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
Hear with your ears, that which is the sovereign good. With a clear mind look upon the two sides, between which each man must choose for himself. Watchful beforehand that the great test may be accomplished in our favour.
Our aspirations, our affections, and our desires are turned towards the wrong things. And only when we turn them towards the right things will things get better.
Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realise there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
