- Love Your Enemies
God gives the power of understanding to us - but we are responsible for our own reactions. For instance, when someone regards himself as our enemy, and insults us, we understand his feelings, and even the fact that he insults us. But if we are spiritual aspirants, we will not react in an mimical way.
- His Will and Power
Do not desire anything, do not even desire "not to do". Let His Will and His Power take over. You will find that His Will keeps you ever active, but without selfishness, greed or desire.
- Culture
Much knowledge is of no use.
It is only that knowledge that goes in to the inner culture of man that counts.
An idol is made of clay - but we de not worship a mountain which has millions of times the quantity of clay used in the image.
An idol is made of stone - but we do not worship a crude rock or a mountain which has stone enough for a million idols.
Only when the clay is moulded does it become the idol fit for worship.
Only when the stone is chiselled into a proper shape does it become fit for worship.
Even so is much knowledge not to be praised, but that knowledge is useful and praiseworthy which has been utilized to culture the heart and mind.
- Desire and Motive
It is possible to be truthful only if one is desireless and motiveless.
Desire and motive make people lie.
- Ignorance
Nothing belongs to you. You belongs to Him. You are a part of Him.
Ignorance makes you imagine otherwise.
