“In order to the attaining of all useful knowledge this is most necessary, that we fear God; we are not qualified to profit by the instructions that are given us unless our minds be possessed with a holy reverence of God, and every thought within us be brought into obedience to Him.... As all our knowledge must take rise from the fear of God, so it must tend to it as its perfection and centre. Those know enough who know how to fear God, who are careful in every thing to please Him and fearful of offending Him in any thing; this is the Alpha and Omega of knowledge.” KnowsMindEnoughChristianOrderGivenFearKnow HowHolyPleaseBlessingPerfectionProfitCarefulChristian LifeObedienceInstructionReverenceFearfulPossessedCentreQualifiedAlphasChastisementOffendingFear GodAlpha And OmegaUseful Knowledge Author:Matthew Henry

“It is no small advantage to the holy life, to "begin the day with God." The saints are wont to leave their hearts with him over-night, that they may find them with Him in the morning. "When I awake, I am still with thee," saith holy David. Before earthly things break in upon us, and we receive impressions from abroad, it is good to season the heart with thoughts of God, and to consecrate the early and virgin operations of the mind.” WorldMindHeartMayChristianNightBreakMorningObjectsHolyBlessingAdvantageSeasonsSaintImpressionChristian LifeOperationsHolinessVirginsChastisementHoly LifeEarthly Things Author:Thomas Case
“The Lord Jesus himself proclaims, 'This is My Body.' Before the blessing of the heavenly words something of another character is spoken of; after consecration it is designated 'body'. He himself speaks of his blood. Before the consecration it is spoken of as something else; after the consecration it is spoken of as 'blood'. And you say, 'Amen', that is, 'It is true.' What the mouth speaks, let the mind within confess; what the tongue utters, let the heart feel.” FeelsMindHeartCharacterBodyJesusSpeakLordBloodBlessingMouthsTongueHeavenlySacramentsAmenConsecration Author:Ambrose
“I remember how people would often come to see my master Jamyang Khyentse simply to ask for his guidance for the moment of death. He was so loved and revered throughout Tibet, especially in the eastern province of Kham, that some would travel for months on end to meet him and get his blessing just once before they died. All my masters would give this as their advice, for this is the essence of what is needed as you come to die: "Be free of attachment and aversion. Keep your mind pure.

“Devotion is the essence of the path, and if we have in mind nothing but the guru and feel nothing but fervent devotion, whatever occurs is perceived as his blessing. If we simply practice with this constantly present devotion, this is prayer itself. When all thoughts are imbued with devotion to the guru, there is a natural confidence that this will take care of whatever may happen. All forms are the guru, all sounds are prayer, and all gross and subtle thoughts arise as devotion. Everything is spontaneously liberated in the absolute nature, like knots untied in the sky.” IfsFeelsMindMayHappensCareFormSoundNaturalPrayerPracticePathSkyBlessingEssenceAbsolutesTake CareAriseDevotionSubtleGrossGuruLiberatedKnotsFervent Author:Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
