HappinessSelf-DiscoveryDo not look for happiness outside yourself. The awakened seek happiness inside.
HappinessLetting GoIf you pursue happiness, you are an ordinary person. If happiness pursues you, you are an extraordinary person. Do not chase happiness; let it chase you.
LoveA person who asks love of others, but does not himself give it, cannot be loved. Always be the first to give love and it shall be given to you. As long as you do not give your heart first, you will be far from love.
LoveExistenceLove resolves all contradictions. Without love, man cannot make sense of his existence.

TransformationDeathSpiritualityDeath can be understood as the passage from one form to another, from a limited degree of life to another higher, freer one. It is wrong to assume that everything ends with death; what ends is only the temporary conditions in which people have lived on earth.

ContentmentSelf-RelianceYours is only what you always have on you.
FriendshipIf you wish to befriend someone, look for a person who loves first God then themselves. If they love God, they will be able to love their neighbor, too.
HappinessScienceAchievementConfusionBeing happy is a great science. If you are not happy, do not be confused. Happiness is hard to achieve.
LoveJealousyWhat does jealousy indicate? Jealousy is love manifested in the physical world. If you are jealous you have a debt to pay; if someone is jealous of you, he has a debt to pay to you.
Trials are not arbitrary. When I speak about them, I am referring to the mindful suffering.Man has come to his present development thanks to his hardships and trials.These are what prepare man for the Coming of Love.
