they see the divine in all forms

he did

 

In the East,

when we speak of saints

or sages, it is not because of their

miracles, it is because of their presence

and their countenance which radiate vibrations

of love. How does this love express itself? In tolerance,

in forgiveness, in respect, in overlooking the faults of others.

Their sympathy covers the defects of others as if they were

their own; they forget their own interest in the interest

of others. They do not mind what conditions they are

in; be they high or humble, their foreheads are

smiling. To their eyes everyone is the

expression of the Beloved, whose

name they repeat. They see the

divine in all forms and

in all beings.

One person comes into

a country with a little cold or influenza

and it spreads. If such a bad thing can spread,

can not an elevated thought of love, kindness and goodwill

towards all men spread? See then that there are finer germs,

germs of goodwill, of love, kindness, and feeling, germs of

brotherhood, of the desire for spiritual evolution,

which can have greater results than the other

ones. If we all have that optimistic view,

if we all work in our little way,

we can accomplish

a great deal.

collect and keep happy experiences

natural mystic

 

The ideal of a mystic

is never to think of disagreeable things.

What one does not want to happen one should not

think about. A mystic erases from his mind all the disagreeable

things of the past. He collects and keeps his happy experiences, and

out of them, he makes a paradise. Are there not many unhappy

people who keep part of the past before them, causing

them pain in their heart? Past is past; it is gone.

There is eternity before us.

the nature and work of a mystic

 

with an ever-living heart

Many seek protection

from all hurting influences by building

some wall around themselves. But the canopy over

the earth is so high that a wall cannot be built high enough,

and the only thing one can do is to live in the midst of all

inharmonious influences, to strengthen his will power

and to bear all things, yet keeping the fineness

of character and a nobleness of manner

together with an ever-living

heart.

 

To become cold with the coldness

of the world is weakness, and to become broken

by the hardness of the world is feebleness, but to live in the world

and yet to keep above the world is like walking on the water. There are two

essential duties for the man of wisdom and love; that is to keep the love

in our nature ever increasing and expanding and to strengthen the

will so that the heart may not be easily broken. Balance is ideal

in life; man must be fine and yet strong, man must

be loving and yet powerful.
