God creates each soul differently, so that when all the mud is finally cleared away, His light will shine through it in a beautiful, colorful, totally new pattern.

Nirvana or lasting enlightenment or true spiritual growth can be achieved only through persistent exercise of real love.

Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it.

When we love something it is of value to us, and when something is of value to us we spend time with it, time enjoying it and time taking care of it.

When we love someone our love becomes demonstrable or real only through our exertion - through the fact that for that someone (or for ourself) we take an extra step or walk an extra mile. Love is not effortless. To the contrary, love is effortful.

Love is too large, too deep ever to be truly understood or measured or limited within the framework of words.

We are most often in the dark when we are the most certain, and the most enlightened when we are the most confused.
