I want to be sincere. When I love the world, I complain of my poor capacity. When I love God, I complain of my sure insincerity.

When you live in spirituality, aspiration is what you expect, but realisation is what you get. When you live in humanity, admiration is what you expect, but admonition is what you get.

I always say that beauty is soul-deep. Beauty in the outer world is the total transformation of one’s human nature. Beauty in the inner world is the perfect realisation of one’s divine Reality.

You have lost nothing in losing your outer capacities and achievements. Simplicity lost, something is lost. Sincerity lost, much is lost. Purity lost, more is lost. Humility lost, your entire inner world is lost.

I love my soul because it always inspires me. I love my vital because it always promises to be. My soul loves me for what I am. My soul loves my vital for what it can be.

Pray with fear. God sheds bitter tears. Pray with love. God smiles with the Beauty of the Golden Dawn. Pray with all that you have. God wings towards you to clasp you. Pray with all that you are. God becomes your Liberation.

I tell the truth. The world is hurt. I tell a lie. God is hurt. What am I to do? Silence. I must live in silence and become the smiling breath of silence. Lo, the world loves me, and God blesses me.

Where joy is wanting, love is wanting. Where love is wanting, everything is wanting. Where Truth is, Fulfilment is there. Where Fulfilment is, God is there, there alone.

“I do not compete with the world. I compete with my ignorance. I do not compare myself with the world. I compare myself with my soul’s perfection. I do not cooperate with the world’s stupidity. I cooperate with my heart’s purest sincerity.”
