The heart is the only reality.
The mind is only a transient phase.
To remain as one’s Self is to
enter the heart.

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.
let your heart open up to the world
In the springtime,
thousands of different kinds of flowers
bloom. Your heart can also bloom. You can let your
heart open up to the world. Love is possible — do not be afraid
of it. Love is indispensable to life, and if in the past you
have suffered because of love, you can
learn to love again.
carry your heart like a sun
You
could become a
great horseman and help
to free yourself and this world though
only if you and prayer become sweet lovers.
It is a naive man who thinks we are not engaged in a
fierce battle, for I see and hear brave foot soldiers
all around me going mad, falling on the ground
in excruciating pain. You could become a
victorious horseman and carry your
heart through this world like a
life-giving sun though only
if you and God become
sweet lovers.
our own heart must teach us
The greater your love,
the greater your moral. If we are forced
to be virtuous according to a certain principle,
a certain regulation, certain laws or rules, then that
is not real virtue. It must come from the depths
of our heart; our own heart must
teach us the true moral.
