But if you miss it, you will next be confronted with the angry deities, ... threatening you and barring your passage ... because you turned a deaf ear to the saving truths of religion. All these forms are strange to you, ... they terrify you, ... and yet it is you who have created them. Do not give in to your fright, ... flee them not! They are but ... the contents of your own mind... If at this point you should manage to understand that, ... and you will find yourself in a paradise among the angels.

Do not judge yourself harshly. Without mercy for ourselves we cannot love the world.

There is no fire like passion. There are no chains like hate. Illusion is a net, Desire is a rushing river.

Live happily, not hating even those who are hostile. Live peacefully even amongst those that hate.

To meditate is to listen with a receptive heart.

All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain?

Life is dear to all beings, they have the right to live the same that we do.
