The transitory carnal enjoyments must be gradually discarded, for so long as they persist, the soul finds it impossible to attach itself to Nam (The Word of God). Spiritual wealth may be accumulated in two ways. First: by toiling hard at meditation; second: by a complete and unconditional surrender to the Master. The first

We must distinguish between a center in reference to the two different natures, body and Soul. In body, center is a point of place; in Soul it is a source, the source of some other nature. That around which the object, Soul or material mass, revolves. While in the higher realm everything flows on its course. There is a lowest power of the Soul, a nearest to Earth, and this is interwoven throughout

Patience and tolerance don’t mean people hit you and you try to endure it, and you call that patience and tolerance. No, no. Real tolerance is when you don’t have to tolerate anymore. What does that mean? For example, people hit you, condemn you, but you don’t feel anything important about it. That’s what we call real patience and tolerance.
