Before you can find God, you must lose yourself..
Whenever feeling downcast, each person should vitally remember, "For my sake, the entire world was created.".
A broom sweeps clean, and itself becomes soiled; cleanse yourself of those offenses of which you may feel guilty..
We should not laugh at the person who becoming caught up in his prayer bends his body or moves about in strange ways. Perhaps he moves in this manner….
For any of us to come to the understanding that we are common and unlearned is the accomplishment of a lifetime..
The ideal of man is to be a revelation himself, clearly to recognize himself as a manifestation of God..
Pleasures are manifestations of God's name..
He who is full of joy is full of love..
There is no room for God in the man who is filled with himself..
Unless we believe that God renews creation every day, our prayers grow habitual and tedious..
