In your heart must well that sympathy which soothes away all pains from the hearts of others.

Faithfulness in the performance of small duties gives us strength to adhere to difficult determinations that life will someday force us to make.

Those persons who have perceptive eyes enjoy beauty everywhere.

It is blessedness for yourself and others if you are happy.

God-realization is the most difficult state to reach. Let no one fool himself, nor think that someone else can "give" it to him. Whenever I fell into a state of mental stagnation, my Master could do nothing for me. But I never gave up trying to keep in tune with him by cheerfully performing whatever he asked me to do. "I have come to him for God-realization," I reasoned, "and I must listen to his advice."

Humbly serving all with their beauty, flowers say more to us about God than anything else. Each one brings a message that the Heavenly Father is right here.

By the practice of meditation, you will find that you are carrying within your heart a portable paradise.
