“In between your failure-treeAnd your triumph-tree,The tree that is growingIs known as your patience-tree.”

“When your heart's gratitude comes to the fore, when you become all gratitude, this gratitude is like a flow, a flow of consciousness. When your consciousness is flowing, feel that this gratitude-flow is like a river that is watering the root of the tree and the tree itself. It is always through gratitude that your consciousness-river will grow and water the perfection-tree inside you.”

“If failure has the strength to turn your life into bitterness itself, then patience has the strength to turn your life into the sweetest joy. Do not surrender to fate after a single failure. Failure, at most, precedes success.”

“When you really have something to offer to the world, then you can become truly humble. A tree when it has no fruit to offer, remains erect. But when the tree is laden with fruit, it bends down. If you are all pride and ego, then nobody will be able to get anything worthwhile from you. When you have genuine humility, it is a sign that you have something to offer to mankind.”

“No matter how fleeting Your smile is,Your smile is the very beginningOf your wisdom-light.”

“Your defeats in life's battlefieldWill soon be ending,Because your mind is no longer indifferent To your heart's spontaneous enthusiasm.”

“Be universal in your love. You will see the universe to be the picture of your own being.”
