We cannot hold a torch to light another’s path without brightening our own first.
A solid rock is not disturbed by the wind; even so, a wise person is not agitated by praise or blame.
If you wish to be free, know you are the Self, the witness of all these, the heart of awareness. Set your body aside, sit in your own awareness. You will at once be happy, forever still, forever free.
Hear good things, see good, do good, think good, then you get the Grace of God, as all the evil tendencies will be uprooted.
