Each human personality is like a piece of music, having an individual tone and a rhythm of its own.
Some people look for a beautiful place, others make a place beautiful.
The highest and greatest goal that every soul has to reach is God. As everything needs renunciation, that highest goal needs the highest renunciation.
We can be under the power of a spell, but we must overcome such a power; we must liberate ourselves from evil. Everyone can fight.
Love manifests towards those whom we like as love; towards those whom we do not like as forgiveness.
Therefore it is the law of the mystics to see all things, to experience all things, either of heaven or earth, and yet to say little; for the souls incapable of understanding the possibility of their reach will ridicule them.

The peace for which every soul strives and which is the true nature of God and the utmost goal of a man is but the outcome of harmony.
A soul who is not close to nature is far away from what is called spirituality. In order to be spiritual one must communicate, and especially one must communicate with nature; one must feel nature.
By our trust in the divine beauty in every person we develop that beauty in ourselves.
Mankind is interdependent, and the happiness of each depends upon the happiness of all, and it is this lesson that humanity has to learn today as the first and the last lesson.
Humanity, divine limitation; Divinity, human perfection.
While people judge others from their own moral standpoint, the wise person looks also at the point of view of another.
There is nothing better than music as a means for upliftment of the soul.
To make a friend, forgiveness is required which burns up all things, leaving only beauty; but to destroy friendship is easy.
Whatever your life’s pursuit – art, poetry, sculpture, music, whatever your occupation may be – you can be as spiritual as clergy, always living a life of praise.
