"You will understand what love truly is when you stop thinking of it as a feeling. Feeling is necessarily subject to variation, depending on who it is meant for, while genuine love is a state of consciousness independent of beings and circumstances. To love is not to have a feeling for someone but to live in love and do everything with love - speak, walk, eat, breathe, study with love... Love arises when we have brought all our organs, cells and faculties into a state of harmony, so that they vibrate in unison in light and peace. So love is a permanent state of consciousness. Those who have attained this state of consciousness feel their whole being imbued with divine fluids, and everything they do is a melody."
"Human beings were created to develop perfectly in the three worlds - the physical, the spiritual and the divine; they were created to live in love, wisdom and truth. If they find this so difficult to achieve, it is because they have not understood how necessary it is to have only one direction and one goal in life. You will say, 'But one direction, one goal - it's impossible; we have so many different responsibilities and obligations!' But it is possible.
Whatever responsibilities and obligations you may have, your every concern, your every thought and wish, right down to every movement of your cells, must be directed to the same end: the kingdom of God and his righteousness. When this happens, all your energies are mobilized and take part in developing the perfect being you will one day become.''
"What pleasure can some people find in recounting the most negative and least appetizing details of their life? And then they are surprised when their friends avoid them or leave them. It's a really stupid attitude; it's better to hide those kinds of detail. You'll say you are unhappy, that you are suffering and need to confide in someone... I can believe it. But understand that others cannot be of much help in finding solutions to your problems; they already have trouble solving their own. So, why lay yours out for them as well? Not only are you wasting your time but you go down in your friends' esteem. They value you less: they realize you have neither wisdom nor self-control, and they are disappointed and withdraw from you. If you do not wish to lose your friends, don't go telling them your troubles, and don't complain. Just learn to connect with all the heavenly powers, with all the luminous entities, which are ready to help you and really will help you."
"Musicians know this phenomenon well. Take two absolutely identical tuning-forks: you touch one of them, it vibrates, and the other one, which hasn't been touched at all, also starts vibrating. This is known as resonance. Well, a similar phenomenon takes place in human beings: if they can attune their physical being and their psychic being to the universe's subtlest vibrations, they can make contact with celestial powers and exchange with them, thus receiving help and comfort. Yes, it is a way of communicating: you speak, and you are heard; you can even contact certain currents of force in space to draw them to you.
Once you know this law, you understand how important it is to go beyond yourself, to surpass yourself, so that you can touch the subtlest cords of your being and make them vibrate, for there are bound to be forces, entities and regions which will respond and allow you to benefit from their riches. "
"Would you like to have a life that is rich and full? Then accept the idea that nature is alive and intelligent. Yes, not only alive but intelligent, for intelligence is not peculiar to human beings. Of course, some people may find this difficult to accept, but it is important they know that as we change our opinion about nature, so we alter our destiny. Nature is the body of God, and this body is alive and intelligent. This is why we must be extremely careful and respectful towards it and approach it with a sense of the sacred. By considering stones, plants, animals or stars as cells of this living, intelligent body, we also allow ourselves to become more alive and intelligent."
“Be patient, and you will live a long life. You'll say, 'But that's not possible; I have to expend so much energy putting up with difficult situations and difficult people.' No, on the contrary, you waste most energy when you are impatient. Calmness and patience strengthen vitality and prolong life. People who explode and then say, 'Ah! That feels better!' do not realize that what they consider to be better is actually a great loss. They should analyze themselves to find out what it is in them that feels better - is it their higher nature or their lower nature?
And when they reflect on their explosion some time later, do they really feel pleased with themselves? Don't they tell themselves it would have been better if they had known how to control themselves? Try experimenting inside yourself to see how effective the virtue of patience is. Instead of resorting to all sorts of syrups, potions, elixirs and other beverages, drink patience!”
"It is the custom in all countries to take something for the people you are visiting - some flowers, cakes, sweets, and so on. This tradition, which is very old, is based on a law: you should not visit someone empty-handed. And not only should you not arrive empty-handed, but it is desirable that when you go to meet people you always do so with the wish to offer them something of the goodness of your heart and soul. So it is very important to be careful not to greet anyone while holding an empty container, so as not to bring emptiness to them for the rest of the day. When you are going to meet a friend, never hold an empty basket, bucket or bottle. If you absolutely have to hold a container, fill it up. It doesn't have to contain anything really valuable - it can just be water, which anyway is one of the most valuable things in the eyes of the Creator. And come before this friend with the thought that you are bringing him or her health, joy, fulfillment and every blessing."
“It is generally believed that only adult humans really possess intelligence. They do, of course, and in a way that is particularly obvious, but actually there is already intelligence in new-borns, even in animals, although in a way that still remains a mystery to science. Intelligence exists in a variety of forms throughout the universe. The earth is intelligent, and the sun is also intelligent, even the most intelligent being of all, yes, because it is the most alive of all beings. You will say, 'More alive than we are?' In a way, yes, more alive than we are. Obviously, if you go around telling people the sun is the most intelligent created being, you'll be laughed at. And yet, the proof is there: since it is the sun that gives humans life, it must be more alive than they are. If the sun were not there to give out its warmth and light, there would be no life on earth and, therefore, no intelligence or love.”
"It is not enough to be motivated by an ideal of fairness, honesty and kindness and to want this ideal to be realized in the world. If you do not know how to behave, you continually clash with others and end up discouraged. So, what should you do? Quite simply, let others be, and continue to improve yourself. In this way, little by little, whenever you happen to meet them, you will impress them with your light; when they see you, they will understand that they have strayed onto muddied paths.
As long as you insist on showing people they are on the wrong path, you sink into the mud with them. Work only to become full of light, and when they meet you, without your even saying anything, they will understand you are in the right, and they will try to imitate you."
