GAYAN 091 - BOULA -050 - A worldly loss often turns into a spiritual gain.

GAYAN 091 - BOULA -050 - A worldly loss often turns into a spiritual gain. To the view of a mystic a gain is not a gain nor is a loss a loss; for that which appears to be a loss at one time may appear at another to be a gain. The more deeply we think about it, the more we see that in every gain... Sign in to see full entry.

GAYAN 077 - BOULA -036 - One should take oneself to task, instead of putting one's fault on another. One may try to see from the point of view of another as well as from one's own, and so give freedom of thought to everybody because one demands it oneself; one may try to appreciate what is good in...

GAYAN 054 - BOULA -013 - A lifetime is not sufficient to learn how to live

GAYAN 054 - BOULA -013 - A lifetime is not sufficient to learn how to live in this world. To learn the lesson of how to live is more important than any psychic or occult learning. Every day we think we have learnt the lesson, but if we had the world would have become a heaven for us by now. We may... Sign in to see full entry.

GAYAN 048 - BOULA -007 - Be either true or false, for you cannot be both.

GAYAN 048 - BOULA -007 - Be either true or false, for you cannot be both. If we come face to face with truth, it is one and the same. One may look at it from the Christian, from the Buddhist, or from the Hindu point of view, but in reality it is one point of view. One can either be small or large,... Sign in to see full entry.

GAYAN 044 - BOULA -003 - A learned man without will power is like a head without a body. Man has been able to accomplish tremendous things by will-power. Success and failure are its phenomena. It is only the phenomenon of will which will bring one to success, and when will fails, however qualified... Sign in to see full entry.

Gayan-014, Alapa-14 - Man! Thou art the master of life, here and in the hereafter. It would not be an exaggeration if one called the mind a world; it is the world that man makes and in which he will make his life in the hereafter, as a spider weaves his web to live in. Once a person thinks of this... Sign in to see full entry.

Gayan 021 - Alankara-04 - Vanity! Both saint and sinner drink from thy cup.

Gayan 021 - Alankara-04 - Vanity! Both saint and sinner drink from thy cup. This is the foundation: a person must develop in his soul, cultivate in his spirit the nobleness of the soul. That is aristocracy. And then he will rise to the democracy, and that democracy is to be kind and good and... Sign in to see full entry.

GAYAN 033 - ALANKARA-16 - Time! In my sorrow thou creepest; in my joy thou runnest; in the hours of my patient waiting thou standest still. As there is a season for everything, as there is a fixed time for nature to manifest, so there is a season for every happening. Good luck, bad luck, rise, fall,... Sign in to see full entry.

GAYAN 055 - BOULA -014 - Man looks for wonders; if he only saw how very wonderful is the heart of man! A Hindustani poet describes this wonderfully, 'The land and sea are not too large for the heart of man to accommodate.' In other words, the heart of man is larger than the universe. If there were a... Sign in to see full entry.

GAYAN 159 - BOULA -118 - Do not accept that which you cannot return, for the balance of life is in reciprocity. The first degree is the law of reciprocity. It is in this degree that one learns the meaning of justice. The law of reciprocity is to give and to take sympathy, and all that sympathy can... Sign in to see full entry.
