The guru cannot awaken you; all that he can do is to point out what is. The guru can give you words; he can give you an explanation, the symbols of the mind, but the symbol is not the real, and if you are caught in the symbol, you will never find the way.
A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
By the cross we, too, are crucified with Christ; but alive in Christ. We are no more rebels, but servants; no more servants, but sons!
Shakti, the goddess in her aspect as power, bestows upon us all wealth, auspiciousness, prosperity, knowledge, and all other potent powers.
There are words which sever hearts more than sharp swords; there are words the point of which sting the heart through the course of a whole life.
In primal time, in all time, was the Creator; Nothing is real but the Eternal. Nothing shall last but the Eternal.
