My heart burns like fire but my eyes are as cold as dead ashes.

Do not regret the past. Look to the future.

Receive a guest with the same attitude you have when alone. When alone, maintain the same attitude you have in receiving guests.

Have the fearless attitude of a hero and the loving heart of a child.

Religion is not to go to God by forsaking the world but to find Him in it. Our faith is to believe in our essential oneness with Him. "God is in us and we in Him" must be made the most fundamental faith of all religions.

Upon retiring, sleep as if you had entered your last sleep. Upon awakening, leave your bed behind you instantly as if you had cast away a pair of old shoes.

My heart burns like fire but my eyes are as cold as dead ashes.
