If Thou Art Willing To

If Thou Hadst Simplicity And Purity, Thou Wouldst Be Able To Comprehend All Things Without Error, And Behold Them Without Danger. The Pure Heart Safely Pervades Not Only Heaven, But Hell.

A Disciple Once Complained, "you Tell Us Stories, But You Never Reveal Their Meaning To Us." The Master Replied, "how Would You Like It If Someone Offered You Fruit And Then Chewed It Up For You Before Giving It To You?" If Your Heart Is Straight With God, Then Every Creature Will Be To You A Mirror Of Life And A Book Of Holy Doctrine.

What Difference Does It Make To You What Someone Else Becomes, Or Says, Or Does? You Do Not Need To Answer For Others, Only For Yourself.

Grace Is The Mastery Of Truth, The Teacher Of Discipline, The Light Of The Heart, The Comforter Of Affliction, The Banisher Of Sorrow, The Nurse Of Devotion.

Do Not Let Your Peace Depend On The Hearts Of Men; Whatever They Say About You, Good Or Bad, You Are Not Because Of It Another Man, For As You Are, You Are.
