Every Morning Is Like A New Reincarnation

The Source Of Wisdom And Power, Of Love And Beauty, Is Within Ourselves, But Not Within Our Egos. It Is Within Our Consciousness. Indeed, Its Presence Provides Us With A Conscious Contrast Which Enables Us To Speak Of The Ego As If It Were Something Different And Apart: It Is The True Self Whereas The Ego Is Only An Illusion Of The Mind.

You May Accept The Inevitable With Bitterness And Resentment Or With Patience And Grace. Mere Acceptance Is Not Sufficient.

When It Seems Humanly Impossible To Do More In A Difficult Situation, Surrender Yourself To The Inner Silence And Thereafter Wait For A Sign Of Obvious Guidance Or For A Renewal Of Inner Strength.

Accept The Long Night Patiently, Quietly, Humbly, And Resignedly As Intended For Your True Good. It Is Not A Punishment For Sin Committed But An Instrument Of Annihilating Egoism.

It Is A Grave Misconception To Regard The Mystical Progress As Passing Mostly Through Ecstasies And Raptures. On The Contrary, It Passes Just As Much Through Broken Hearts And Bruised Emotions, Through Painful Sacrifices And Melancholy Renunciations.
