Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
The universe has been created out of knowledge and action and seems also possessed of consciousness.
O soul, you worry too much. You have seen your own strength. You have seen your own beauty. You have seen your golden wings. Of anything less, why do you worry? You are in truth the soul, of the soul, of the soul.
If you are a compassionate person and you are radiating compassion, then others are bound to receive those radiations of compassion from you.
Be determined. The Tempter masters the lazy and irresolute man who dwells on the attractive side of things, ungoverned in his senses, and unrestrained in his food, like the wind overcomes a rotten tree.
