Grieve only if you have committed a sin, but even in this case do not grieve too much, otherwise you may become desperate.

The one who wants to love God has to take care about the purity of the soul, first of all.

If you want to conquer lust for wealth, love selflessness and sparing way of life.

The acme of faith is... immersion of the mind in God.

Love takes nothing: how can it take something? Everything belongs to it. It does not say, "This is mine! And this is mine!" But it says: "This is yours!"

There are many possibilities that people can choose from. There are bad and there are good ones. So, look carefully to choose for yourself the noble path... ... Do not let the deeds and thoughts of other people confuse you; let them not prompt you to do or say anything evil! Listen to others' advice and deliberate yourself. Only fools acts thoughtlessly, without consideration!

Do not hate a sinner, for we all are to be res­pon­sible.
