- The man who is not courageous enough to take risks ...

GAYAN 140 - BOULA -099 - The man who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

- Fatalism is one side of the truth, not all. It seems more reasonable when a person says that the illness is brought about by his own actions.

Gayan 447 - Chala 126 - It takes but a moment to drop down from heaven to earth; but for rising from earth to heaven, even a long lifetime may be insufficient. Life on the physical plane is limited.

Life's tests

GAYAN 136 - BOULA -095 - All situations of life are tests to bring out the real and the false.
