1 When one praises the beauty of God, one's soul is filled with bliss. 2
Sympathy is the root of religion, 3 Life is a misery for the man absorbed in himself. 4 To give sympathy is sovereignty; to desire it from others is captivity. 5 God speaks to the ears of every heart, but it is not every heart that hears Him. 6 As one can see when the eyes are open, so one can understand when the heart is open. 7 It is being dead to self that is the recognition of God. 8
As
the light of the sun helps the plants to grow, 9 Things are worthwhile when we seek them; only then do we know their value. 10
When
a man looks at the ocean, 11
It
does not matter in what way a person offers his respect and his
reverence to the deity he worships; 12
The
ideal of God is a bridge connecting the limited life with the unlimited;
13 He who wants to understand will understand. 14
Man
is the picture of the reflection of his imagination; 15 The great Teachers of humanity become stream of love. 16
"God
is love": three words which open up an unending realm 17 It is the surface of the sea that makes waves an roaring breakers; the depth is silent. 18
Our
success or failure depends upon the harmony or disharmony 19 The wave realizes "I am the sea", and by falling into the sea prostrates itself before its God. 20 The secret of happiness is hidden under the cover of spiritual knowledge. 21 The soul is first born into the false self, it is blind; in the true self the soul opens its eyes. 22 To learn the lesson of how to live is more important than any psychic or occult learning. 23 Knowledge without love is lifeless. 24 The aim of the mystic is to keep near to the idea of unity, and find out where we unite. 25 Sleep is comfortable, but awakening is interesting. 26 Every moment has its special message. 27 To make God a reality is the real object of worship. 28
Every passion, every emotion has its effect upon the mind, 29
When
souls meet each other, what truth can they exchange? 30 All gains, whether material, spiritual, moral, or mystical, are in answer to one's own character.
