- Heart Failure
It is not heart failure when the heart stops - but when the heart shrinks, when the function of the heart, which is love and charity - stops.
It is then that there is heart failure.
The heartless miser has heart failure every hour of the day.
- Two Kinds of Changes
We often hear "Times have changed; hence we should modify our attitude towards religion and give it up." This is obviously wrong. If a man is ill and suffering , it is a crime to say: "Yesterday you were well - times have changed, so we can't help."
But there is an other type of change - natural change, e.g. old age. Here we do take change into account and do not expect the old man do what he did fifty years ago.
There are certain unageing factors in religion and certain factors which are subject to change. We should discern between disease and old age in religion - and cure the disease!
- Darkness in Light
Look at the flame of the candle - it has a secret message. It says: "There is no darkness - you have invented the word." "But" , you say, “It is dark in the next room". "Come" says the candle-flame , "Let us see". When you both enter the next room, you find you were wrong and the candle-flame was correct! There is no darkness in light.
- Desire and Motive
It is possible to be truthful only if one is desireless and motiveless.
Desire and motive make people lie.
- Constitutions
I am ashamed to belong to a civilisation where hospitals are built only out of money wrested from man's hands, where it needs a big police force to keep brother from killing or plundering brother, and where even wandering on God's good Eart needs the sanction of a few people constituting themselves into Authority.
