Why do we fail? Is it because we are unlucky? Is it because we have not worked very hard? I s it because we have not invoked God's Compassion and Blessings? Is it because God has accepted this failure as an experience He wanted to have in our life? Is it because God has granted this failure to us? Is it because God has willed that we should lose? No! not it is for a different reason that we experience failure. It is for the strengthening of our consciousness that, at times, God grants us defeat.

The difficulty is that we try to perfect others before we perfect ourselves.

My mind's cries tell me that everything on earth is tragic. My heart's smiles tell me that everything on earth is magic.

Hope is not an idle term. Hope is the reality that can and does reveal itself to us at God's choice hour. To hope is to know the secret of achievement.

In between your failure-tree And your triumph-tree, The tree that is growing Is known as your patience-tree.

Love the world. Otherwise, you will be forced to carry the heaviest load: your own bitter self.

Even now when I am answering a question I am at the height of my own meditation.
