“God leads every soul by a separate path.”

To reach satisfaction in all desire its possession in nothing, To come to the knowledge of all desire the knowledge of nothing. To come to possess all desire the possession of nothing. To arrive at being all desire to be nothing.

If you lose an opportunity you will be like one who lets the bird fly away; you will never get it back.

They say, “God told me”, or “God replied to me”. And yet most of the time they are talking to themselves.

Never relax, for you will not attain to the possession of true spiritual delights if first you do not learn to deny your every desire.

The road is narrow. He who wishes to travel it more easily must cast off all things and use the cross as his cane. In other words, he must be truly resolved to suffer willingly for the love of God in all things.

Lord, I shall see you no more with the eyes of the flesh.

He who interrupts the course of his spiritual exercises and prayer is like a man who allows a bird to escape from his hand; he can hardly catch it again.

The soul that walks in love neither tires others nor grows tired.

Do not let your “eye” be drawn by the false “beacon lamps” -of wealth, or position, or fame, or possessions. Be vigilant over your will and desires, for these are the corrupt forces that dwell within, and keep you from living free.

Oh, night that guided me, Oh, night more lovely than the dawn,Oh, night that joined Beloved with lover, Lover transformed in the Beloved!

At the evening of life, we shall be judged on our love.

God passes through the thicket of the world, and wherever His glance falls He turns all things to beauty.

Now that I no longer desire all, I have it all without desire.

Who teaches the soul if not God?

Live in the world as if only God and your soul were in it; then your heart will never be made captive by any earthly thing.

God desires the smallest degree of purity of conscience in you more than all the works you can perform.

God has no need of your money, but the poor have. You give it to the poor, and God receives it.

God helps him who strives hard.

Human rights are something you were born with. Human rights are your God-given rights. Human rights are the rights that are recognized by all nations of this earth.

There are three things in life which are real: God, human folly and laughter. Since the first two are beyond our comprehension, we must do what we can with the third.

If the concept of God has any validity or any use, it can only be to make us larger, freer, and more loving. If God cannot do this, then it is time we got rid of Him.

We all have the same God, we just serve him differently.

When Prayers go up, Blessings come down.

God has a plan and God is in control of everything.
