Do Not Cling To The Symbols, But

If I Had A Friend And Loved Him Because Of The Benefits Which This Brought Me And Because Of Getting My Own Way, Then It Would Not Be My Friend That I Loved But Myself. I Should Love My Friend On Account Of His Own Goodness And Virtues And Account Of All That He Is In Himself. Only If I Love My Friend In This Way Do I Love Him Properly.

God Is At Home. We Are In The Far Country.

This Is Not Only A Commandment But Also A Promise Or Reward.

Whatever God Does, The First Outburst Is Always Compassion.

Everything Is Full And Pure At Its Source And Precisely There, Not Outside.
