Form and Formlessness

GAYAN 085 - BOULA -044 - Love of form, progressing, culminates in love of the formless. When someone says, 'I love the formless', he professes something which is inaccurate.

Follow your gut

CS-503 So long as I act upon my own intuition I succeed; but whenever I follow another's advice I go astray. Our intuition, once we have developed it, is the way by which we maintain a spiritual contact and relationship with God. It then follows that if our inner life is strong then we will feel...

GAYAN 163 - BOULA -122 - Life is an opportunity, and it is a great pity if man realizes this when it is too late.

ideal

Reason

Gayan 393 - Chala 72 - Reason is the master of the unbeliever and the servant of the believer. Mind is most capable of expressing itself in a fitting form.

The Log in Our Own Eye

Gayan 418- Chala 97 - Worrying about the faults of others is an unnecessary addition to the worry we have over our own faults. Faults? Everyone has faults.

Beauty and Divinity
