Bees
Study all the scriptures as a bee collects nectar from the different flowers, and makes sweet honey.
But beware - do not manufacture poison. The bee does not do it.
Living Substance
Food outside the body decays, but the same food eaten, digested and assimilated, becomes body, becomes "me", becomes living substance.
Courage
Let us have the truth, even if the heavens should fall.
One must have the courage to discover the truth within one's own nature, without merely assuming what it is like.
Headaches
We do not know what happiness means - we only know what sorrow means.
Happiness is, according to our limited experience, the period in between two sorrows; the time when we are not miserable.
Between two headaches there is a head - waiting for the next headache!
Mind
The mind which creates happiness will also create unhappiness.
