Forgiveness for God and for Humanity

GAYAN 170 - BOULA -129 - Forgiveness belongs to God; it becomes the privilege of mortal man only when asked by another.

Tala 11 - Life is a fair trade wherein all adjusts itself in time.

Gayan 611 - Tala 11 - Life is a fair trade wherein all adjusts itself in time. For all you take from it, you must pay the price sooner or later.

GAYAN 112 - BOULA -071 - He whose love has always been reciprocated does not know the real feeling of love. And now we come to the next step. This is the law of beneficence.

GAYAN 152 - BOULA -111 - The self-made man is greater than the man who depends upon another to make him. By independence is meant self-sufficiency: that what they can get from their own self they must not look for outside. That is the principal motive of those who are striving for self-attainment,...

Do not take the example of another as an excuse for your wrongdoing.

GAYAN 134 - BOULA -093 - Do not take the example of another as an excuse for your wrongdoing. Christ's teaching that man should be kind and charitable, and that of all other teachers who showed humanity the right path, seems to differ from what one sees from the practical point of view which is...

Gayan #275 - Boula #234 The water that washes the heart is the continual running of the love-stream. Purity of mind is the principal thing upon which the health of both body and mind depend.
