If you wish to befriend someone, look for a person who loves first God then themselves. If they love God, they will be able to love their neighbor, too.
Do not look for happiness outside yourself. The awakened seek happiness inside.
If you pursue happiness, you are an ordinary person. If happiness pursues you, you are an extraordinary person. Do not chase happiness; let it chase you.
Human happiness is defined by the hardships and conflicts you have been through. The greater they are, the greater is your happiness.
Being happy is a great science. If you are not happy, do not be confused. Happiness is hard to achieve.
