The way upward from inertia to illumination passes through the sphere of action.

The mind is like a lake lashed into waves. Make the water of the lake clear and calm.

The breeze of God's grace is blowing continually. You have to set your sail to catch that breeze.

The fulfillment of every desire only reveals its inadequacy.

The way upward from inertia to illumination passes through the sphere of action.

There is no failure in the spiritual life, as long as we do not give up the fight.
