“When you neglect your Soul, you are not living at all. You are a biological robot, a machine. You walk, talk, smile, visit parties, have lovers. Soul knows & sees everything you do. When one day your body is no more, you have to answer to your Soul. While in the body, Soul was a prisoner of your mind, ego, greed, envy, anything else, now there is no escape from the judgement of your own Soul.”

“Unselfish Sonnet
Unself your soul,
And lo the joy pours.
Wipe out the I,
And the world is yours.
The more selfish you are,
The more anxious you'll be.
One who's lost in service,
Is the epitome of humanity.
In a world of self-obsession,
Be the spark most selfless.
Burn yourself to ashes,
Let all bathe in your kindness.
To give is to live o human.
To die for others is salvation.”

“Happiness is personal joy of pursuit.”
“She was going about her life, taking her pleasures as she found them, suffering what was hers to suffer, doing what she had to do. She had about her no air of self-pity or complaint. And this could only have been because, in her own heart, she was not pitying herself or complaining.”

“It’s in our breath, our touch, our scent.
Messages back and forth, now hundreds a day.
Mostly words of joy, love, but too of lament.”

“I cannot shut my eyes and plunge confidently into the absurd; that is for me an impossibility, but I do not praise myself for it. I am convinced that God is love; this thought has for me a primordial lyrical validity. When it is present to me I am unspeakably happy; when it is absent I long for it more intensely than the lover for the object of his love. But I do not believe; this courage I lack.”
