Remind
yourself every morning,
every morning, every morning:
“I’m going to do something. I’ve made a
commitment.” Not for yourself, but
beyond yourself. You belong to
the collective. Don’t go
wandering off or you
will perish.

The sea is
king of the valleys
and streams because it
is willing to be beneath them.
One who wishes to guide people
should be humble in her speech
toward them. One who wishes
to lead people must learn
the art of following
them.
The sage
is above the people,
but they don’t feel her weight.
She stays ahead of the people,
and no harm comes to them. She has
the affection of the whole world.
Because she contends with
no one, no one can
contend with
her.

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.
