Those who read books cannot understand the teachings and, what’s more, may even go astray. But those who try to observe the things going on in the mind, and always take that which is true in their own minds as their standard; never get muddled.

One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.
There’s nothing more advanced than relating with others. There’s nothing more advanced than communication – compassionate communication.

Many teachers will tell you to believe; then they put out your eyes of reason and instruct you to follow only their logic. But I want you to keep your eyes of reason open; in addition, I will open in you another eye, the eye of wisdom.
Trust God completely and he will solve all difficulties. Faithfully leave everything to Him and He will see to everything.
Affirm divine calmness and peace, and send out only thoughts of love and goodwill if you want to live in peace and harmony.
