Your path is straight ahead of you.

But you have to follow that path.

Well, it seems to me that the best relationships--the ones that last-- are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship.You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before.

And let there be no purpose in friendship

save the deepening of the spirit.

For love that seeks aught

but the disclosure of its own mystery

is not love but a net cast forth:

and only the unprofitable is caught.

And let your best be for your friend.

If he must know the ebb of your tide,

let him know its flood also.

For what is your friend

that you should seek him with hours to kill.

Seek him always with hours to live.

On Patience

"I remembered one morning when I discovered a cocoon in a bark of a tree, just as a butterfly was making a hole in its case and preparing to come out. I waited awhile, but it was too long appearing and I was impatient. I bent over it and breathed on it to warm it. I warmed it as quickly as I could and the miracle began to happen before my eyes, faster than life.

The case opened, the butterfly started slowly crawling out and I shall never forget my horror when I saw how its wings were folded back and crumpled; the wretched butterfly tried with its whole trembling body to unfold them. Bending over it I tried to help it with my breath. In vain.

It needed to be hatched out patiently and the unfolding of its wings should be a gradual process in the sun. Now it was too late. My breath had forced the butterfly to appear, all crumpled, before its time. It struggled desperately and, a few seconds later, died in the palm of my hand.

The little body is, I do believe, the greatest weight I have on my conscience, for I realize today that it is a mortal sin to violate the great laws of nature. We should not hurry, we should not be impatient, but we should confidently obey the eternal rhythm."

Where there is despair...hope.
Where there is darkness...light
Where there is sadness...joy.
Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be
consoled...as to console.
To be understood...as to understand.
To be loved...as to love.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

But it is the one thing which makes life worth living.
