“Like a lamp, dispelling the darkness of ignorance”

“Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.”

“All suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their own happiness or satisfaction”

“I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of inner peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion and elimination of ignorance, selfishness and greed.”

“I call the high and light aspects of my being SPIRIT and the dark and heavy aspects SOUL.Soul is at home in the deep shaded valleys.Heavy torpid flowes saturated with black grow there.The rivers flow like arm syrup. They empty into huge oceans of soul.Spirit is a land of high,white peaks and glittering jewel-like lakes and flowers.Life is sparse and sound travels great distances.There is soul music, soul food, and soul love.People need to climb the mountain not because it is thereBut because the soulful divinity need to be mated with the Spirit.Deep down we must have a rel affection for each other, a clear recognition of our shared human status. At the same time we must openly accept all ideologies and systems as means of solving humanity's problems. No matter how strong the wind of evil may blow, the flame of truth cannot be extinguished.”

“We all appreciate in others the inner qualities of kindness, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, and generosity, and in the same way we are all averse to displays of greed, malice, hatred, and bigotry.The first beneficiaries of such a strengthening our inner values will, no doubt, be ourselves. Our inner lives are something we ignore at our own peril, and many of the greatest problems we face in today's world are the result of such neglect.When a system is sound, its effectiveness depends on the way it is used.So long as people give priority to material values, then injustice, corruption, inequity, intolerance, and greed-all the outward manifestations of neglect of inner values-will persist.”

“Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.”
