The Eye With Which I

I Have Often Said That A Person Who Wishes To Begin A Good Life Should Be Like One Who Draws A Circle. Let Him Or Her Get The Center In The Right Place And Keep It So And The Circumference Will Be Good.

Some People Want To See God With Their Eyes As They See A Cow, And To Love Him As They Love A Cow - For The Milk And Cheese And Profit It Brings Them. This Is How It Is With People Who Love God For The Sake Of Outward Wealth Or Inward Comfort. They Do Not Rightly Love God, When They Love Him For Their Own Advantage.

The Very Best And Noblest Attainment In This Life Is To Be Silent And Let God Work And Speak Within. Therefore It Is Said: 'in The Midst Of Silence The Secret Word Was Spoken To Me'.

If We Seek God For Our Own Good And Profit, We Are Not Seeking God.

Above All Else, Know This: Be Prepared At All Times For The Gifts Of God And Be Ready Always For New Ones. For God Is A Thousand Times More Ready To Give Than We Are To Receive
