Gayan #287 – Boula #246 Speech is the sign of living, but silence is life

Gayan #287 – Boula #246 Speech is the sign of living, but silence is life itself. What can we learn from this?

Gayan #327 – Chala #6 - Natural religion is the religion of beauty. It would be no exaggeration to say that all these disagreeable things which go on in this world--wars, diseases and the like--all come from the lack of artistic attitude in life the lack of a sense of beauty, and the lack of that...

Gayan #361 - Chala #40 - In the country, you see the glory of God; in the city, you glorify His name.

GAYAN 249 - BOULA -208 – Man's attitude is manifest in the expression of his countenance. Man's expression is more indicative of his nature and character than his form or features. In the Qur'an it is said that man's eyes and gestures will confess what he tries to hide in his heart. The strength,...

‌ GAYAN 200 - BOULA -159 – The fulfillment of every activity is in its balance. A man who is one-sided, however great his power of clairvoyance or clairaudience, whatever be his knowledge, yet is limited; he cannot go very far, for it requires two wheels for the vehicle to run. There must be a... Sign in to see full entry.

Gayan #319 – Boula #278 - Speaking wisdom is much easier than living it. God is not the Father of one sect; God is the Father of the whole world, and all are entitled to be called His children, whether worthy or unworthy. And in fact it is man's attitude toward God and Truth which can bring him... Sign in to see full entry.
