When the mind is still, we can become an instrument of peace.

Mastery does not come from dabbling. We have to be prepared to pay the price. We need to have the sustained enthusiasm that motivates us to give our best.

When the mind is still, we can become an instrument of peace.

When someone at peace and free from hurry enters a room, that person has a calming effect on everyone present.

The capacity to be patient, to bear with others through thick and thin, is within the reach of anyone.

When mystics use the word love, they use it very carefully - in the deeply spiritual sense, where to love is to know; to love is to act. If you really love, from the depths of your Consciousness, that love gives you a native wisdom. You perceive the needs of others intuitively and clearly, with detachment from any personal desires; and you know how to act creatively to meet those needs, dexterously surmounting any obstacle that comes in the way. Such is the immense, driving power of love.

Our deepest need is for the joy that comes with knowing we are of genuine use to others.
