Being a good example is the best form of service.

Trust in my wisdom. I do not make mistakes. Love my uncertainty for it is not a mistake. It is my intent and will. Remember – nothing happens without my will. Be still. Do not ask to understand. Do not want to understand.

Duty without love is deplorable. Duty with love is desirable. Love without duty is Divine.

There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches.
