Love overcomes bitterness, overpowers sorrow, overwhelms anger, and overthrows hatred. Medicine heals the body, faith heals the heart, wisdom heals the mind, and love heals the soul.
You bless those you love, hurt those you hate, look up to those you admire, and despise those you detest. Love those who love you: they will respect you. Love those who hate you: men will praise you. Love those who have wronged you: God will bless you.
Love blesses one who receives it, rewards one who experiences it, but hate torments one who harbors it. For: love is warm, indifference is cold, and hatred is numbing. Kindness bridges hearts, and love bridges souls.
Whatever fear touches becomes frightful, whatever hate touches becomes pitiful, whatever love touches becomes wonderful, and whatever God touches becomes beautiful.
The truth of spirituality and our identity with the supreme spiritual awareness, the absolute, we have attained is the height and supreme mother love, father God. Spirituality is the attitude, which we denote the mindβs ability for service and soul seen to expand the knowledge in life.
Societyβs structure exists to maintain the power and wealth of a few privileged persons. A person must resist societyβs attempts to bully him or her into living a diminished life of a conformist. I must be wary that my defining character is neither effaced nor compromised and rebuff men of weaker temperament attempting to repress my uninhibited joy for life. I need to demonstrate the inventive spirit of an opportunistic doer. I will allow myself to run wild in the eyes of the world of watchers and establish a lifestyle that allows the physical body room to flex its fibrous muscles. I shall live in a manner that enables the mind the opportunity to construct a secure shelter that encourages mental and spiritual exploration. I aspire to establish a workable balance between retreating to my private cave to seek solace and striking meaningful engagements with the larger world.
