We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. So we have to know how to act.
Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain.
True religion is not talk, or doctrines, or theories, nor is it sectarianism. It is the relation between soul and God.
It is hard to find a man who has desire for what he has not tasted, or who tastes the world and is untouched. Here in the world some crave pleasure, some seek freedom but it is hard to find a man who wants neither. It is hard to find a man who has an open mind, who neither seeks nor shuns wealth or pleasure, duty or liberation, life or death…He does not want the world to end. He does not mind if it lasts. Whatever befalls him, He lives in happiness.
Without an ever-present sense of death, life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.
