It is permissible to take life's blessings with both hands provided thou dost know thyself prepared in the opposite event to take them just as gladly. This applies to food and friends and kindred, to anything God gives and takes away... As long as God is satisfied do thou rest content. If he is pleased to want something else of thee, still rest content.

The shell must be cracked apart if what is in it is to come out, for if you want the kernel you must break the shell.

The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.

When I experience Love I must go to God. When I experience non-attachment God must come to me.

A life of rest and peace in God is good; a life of pain lived in patience is still better; but to have peace in a life of pain is best of all.

God wants nothing from you but the gift of a peaceful heart.

God is at home. We are in the far country.
