Gayan 380 - Chala 59 - Great personalities are few in the world, and fewer

The mother was the stepping-stone of Jesus to Christhood.

Gayan #347 - Chala #26 - The mother was the stepping-stone of Jesus to Christhood. It is the mother's fear that gives the child fear; her anger gives it anger; her contempt gives it contempt.

The more you make of your gifts, the less becomes the value of something ..

Gayan #312 - Boula #271 - The more you make of your gifts, the less becomes the value of something which is priceless. Man's greatest enemy is his ego which manifests itself in selfishness.
