Do not fight the darkness, let the light in and the darkness will disappear.

God cannot be realized if there is the slightest trace of pride.

Deepen your knowledge of Jesus which ends loneliness, overcomes sadness and uncertainty, gives real meaning to life, curbs passions, exalts ideals, expands energies in charity, brings light into decisive choices. Let Christ be for you the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

To slight a single human being, is to slight those divine powers and thus to harm not only that being but with him, the whole world.

In light of heaven, the worst suffering on earth will be seen to be no more serious than one night in an inconvenient hotel.

Enlightenment is always there. Small enlightenment will bring great enlightenment. If you breathe in and are aware that you are alive—that you can touch the miracle of being alive—then that is a kind of enlightenment. Many people are alive but don't touch the miracle of being alive.

It is no advantage to be near the light if the eyes are closed.

He who abhors and shuns the light of the Sun, He who refuses to behold with respect the living creation of God, He who leads the good to wickedness, He who makes the meadows waterless and the pastures desolate, He who lets fly his weapon against the innocent, An enemy of my faith, a destroyer of Thy principles is he, O Lord!

There are two specific objections to use of psychedelic drugs. First, use of these drugs may be dangerous. However, every worthwhile exploration is dangerous—climbing mountains, testing aircraft, rocketing into outer space, or collecting botanical specimens in jungles. But if you value knowledge & the actual delight of exploration more than mere duration of uneventful life, you are willing to take the risks.

Every time you create a gap in the stream of mind, the light of your consciousness grows stronger.

Let them not do the slightest thing that the wise would later reprove.

Light can penetrate any amount of darkness but no amount of darkness can penetrate light.

Enlightenment is not a complete remedy.

But few are those who tread the sunlit path; Only the pure in soul can walk in light.

Transform reason into ordered intuition; let all thyself be light. This is thy goal.

The fires of suffering become the light of consciousness.

Behold thine immortal Self resurrected with Christ in the light of illumination, present in every soul, every flower, every atom!

The sun shines equally on diamond and charcoal, but the former has developed qualities that enable it to reflect the sunlight brilliantly, while the latter is unable to reflect the sunlight. Emulate the diamond in your dealings with people. Brightly reflect the light of God's love.

Lamps are different, but light is the same.

The souls of all are from one and the same source but a soul which is unveiled shines out. Love and light come continually from such souls. We need no proof of it for it is living all else is dead in comparison.

Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s flesh to the spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, and kindles the true light of chastity.

So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.
