We should not laugh at the person who becoming caught up in his prayer bends his body or moves about in strange ways. Perhaps he moves in this manner to wave off unwelcome thoughts that would interrupt the prayer. Would we find it funny if we saw a person drowning going through strange motions doing whatever was necessary to save his life?

Pleasures are manifestations of God's name.

Fear builds walls to bar the light.

Telling the proper stories is as if you were approaching the throne of Heaven in a fiery chariot.

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Why? Because every human being has a root in the Unity, and to reject the minutest particle of the Unity is to reject it all.

Unless we believe that God renews creation every day, our prayers grow habitual and tedious.

From every human being there rises a light.
