Riddles and Puzzles

GAYAN 099 - BOULA -058 - He who is a riddle to another is a puzzle to himself. The Knower manifested as man in order that He might become known to Himself, and now, what may man do in order to help the Knower to fulfill this purpose? Seek continually an answer to every question that arises in his... Sign in to see full entry.

Do not fear God

GAYAN 097 - BOULA -056 - Do not fear God, but regard carefully His pleasure and displeasure. The saintly souls, who consider it as their religion to seek the pleasure of God and to be resigned to His will, are really blessed, for their manner is pleasing to everyone, for they are conscientious lest...

Self Creation

Gayan #351 - Chala #30 - As the whole of nature is made by God, so the nature of each individual is made by himself.

karma?

Gayan #284 - Boula #243 He who realizes the effect of his deed upon himself begins to open his outlook on life. Whatever we do comes back to us. It may not come back from the same side, it may come from another side. But how does it come? Suppose we speak very badly to a servant, we insult him, we... Sign in to see full entry.

Silence

CS-478 Silence in modesty speaks louder than bold words. The [fire]cracker cries aloud, "I am the light," and is extinguished in a moment; the diamond, shining constantly, never says a word about its light. Haya is the finest feeling in human nature, which is called modesty. Modesty is not... Sign in to see full entry.

Beauty

Gayan #356 - Chala #35 - All beauty is veiled by nature, and the greater the beauty the more it is covered. That makes it easy for a wise person to find the difference between a true prophet and a false prophet, for one beats his drums and the other tries to keep in the background, if only his work...

GAYAN 072 - BOULA -031 - Power demands subjection; but if you cannot resist power by conquest, win it by surrender. One who is really resigned does not show it. Resignation is not an easy thing.

Consideration

GAYAN 227 - BOULA -186 Consideration is born in the heart and developed in the head. If we inquire of our self within for what purpose we have come on earth and why we have become human beings, wondering whether it would perhaps have been better to remain angels, the answer will certainly come to...
