Sayings

The Bowl of Saki

April

4-1 When one praises the beauty of God, one's soul is filled with bliss.

4-2 Sympathy is the root of religion, and so long as the spirit of sympathy is living in your heart, you have the light of religion.

4-3 Life is a misery for the man absorbed in himself.

4-4 To give sympathy is sovereignty; to desire it from others is captivity.

4-5 God speaks to the ears of every heart, but it is not every heart that hears Him.

4-6 As one can see when the eyes are open, so one can understand when the heart is open.

4-7 It is being dead to self that is the recognition of God.

4-8 As the light of the sun helps the plant to grow, so the divine Spirit helps the soul towards its perfection.

4-9 Things are worthwhile when we seek them; only then do we know their value.

4-10 When a man looks at the ocean, he can only see that part of it which comes within his range of vision; so it is with the truth.

4-11 It does not matter in what way a person offers his respect and his reverence to the deity he worships; it matters only how sincere he is in his offering.

4-12 The ideal of God is a bridge connecting the limited life with the unlimited; whoever travels over this bridge passes safely from the limited to the unlimited life.

4-13 He who wants to understand, will understand.

4-14 Man is the picture of the reflection of his imagination; he is as large or as small as he thinks himself.

4-15 The great teachers of humanity become streams of love.

4-16 'God is Love' three words which open up an unending realm for the thinker who desires to probe the depths of the secret of life.

4-17 It is the surface of the sea that makes waves and roaring breakers; the depth is silent.

4-18 Our success or failure depends upon the harmony or disharmony of our individual will with the divine Will.

4-19 The wave realizes I am the sea, and by falling into the sea prostrates itself before its God.

4-20 The secret of happiness is hidden under the cover of spiritual knowledge.

4-21 The soul is first born into the false self, it is blind; in the true self the soul opens its eyes.

4-22 To learn the lesson of how to live is more important than any psychic or occult learning.

4-23 Knowledge without love is lifeless.

4-24 The aim of the mystic is to keep near to the idea of unity, and to find out where we unite.

4-25 Sleep is comfortable, but awakening is interesting.

4-26 Every moment has its special message.

4-27 To make God a reality is the real object of worship.

4-28 Every passion, every emotion has its effect upon the mind, and every change of mind, however slight, has its effect upon man's body.

4-29 When souls meet each other, what truth can they exchange? It is uttered in silence, yet always surely reaches its goal.

4-30 All gains, whether material, spiritual, moral or mystical, are in answer to one's own character.
