From joy I came, for joy I live, in sacred joy I melt.

The soul's first adventure is the fight between two ideas: the wish to return to earth in a human form, and the desire to feel the freedom of having no form.

If you want to be loved, start loving others who need your love....If you want others to sympathize with you, start showing sympathy to those around you. If you want to be respected, you must learn to be respectful to everyone, both young and old....Whatever you want others to be, first be that yourself; then you will find others responding in like manner to you.

What you lose in the world will not be a loss to your soul.

People are running, running, but there is no place in the world to which they can flee to escape themselves. Ultimately, each one must face himself.
