Wisdom & Quotes

• I ask God's forgiveness for my lack of faithfulness in asking his forgiveness.
• Thou art Absolute Being, all else

Is naught but a phantasm.
For in Thy universe all things are
One.
Thy world-captivating Beauty, to
Display its perfections,
Appears in thousands of mirrors,
But it is one.

• Though in this world a hundred tasks thou tryest,

'Tis Love alone which from thyself will save thee.
Even from earthly love thy face avert not,
Since to the Real it may serve to raise thee.

• Therefore the universe is the outward visible expression of the Real, and the Real is the inner unseen reality of the Universe.
