“You are always your own best guru, your own best teacher, the answers are always inside you.”

Learn to speak what you feel, and act what you speak.

Life is best spent in alleviating pain, assuaging distress, and promoting peace and joy. The service of man is more valuable than what you call “service to God.” God has no need of your service. Pleas man, you please God.

Desire is like the shadow caused by the morning sun; it gets longer when you run to catch it.

Knowledge that is not put into practice is like food that is not digested.

Let us grow together, enjoy together.

When you feel you cannot do good, at least desist from doing evil.

Where there is no purity, there is no Unity. Without Unity you cannot attain Divinity. Then your life is just a waste. First purity, next Unity, then you realize your Divinity.

Desire is a bonfire that burns with greater fury, asking for more fuel.

Some say knowledge is power, but that is not true. Character is power.

If you develop love, you do not need to develop anything else.

Start the day with love, spend the day with love, fill the day with love and end the day with love. That is the way to God.

Look at the world with the vision of peace, love, and compassion. Then the whole world will appear loving and peaceful.

Real happiness lies within you.

Love is a bridge over the sea of change. Do not build a house on it.

Speak with Love and it becomes Truth.

Whatever books you may read, you cannot realize the Divine merely by intellectual effort. Oneness can only be promoted by the practice of love.

Each must find out for himself, and must accept the responsibility that his answer prescribes. If he succeeds he will continue to grow in spite of all indignities.

At most, I may write when I am disturbed by something. I have recently discovered the pleasure of finding written answers to written questions.

Nora: i have questions. Patch: i should have known you’ve only been keeping me around for answers. Nora: well, that and your kisses. Anyone ever tell you you’re an incredible kisser?

There are no right answers to wrong questions.

I can’t answer either question. But the look she gives me reminds me of the look in the attack dog’s eyes in the aptitude test – a vicious, predatory stare. She wants to rip me to pieces. I can’t lie down in submission now. I have become an attack dog too.

Don’t make me regret this” i said, breathless. ” you haven’t regretted me once”. He kissed me, and i answered so hungrily i thought my lips would bruise. Patch&nora ( p. 180)

Indeed the measure of our intellectual maturity, one philosopher suggests, is our capacity to feel less and less satisfied with our answers to better problems.
