Spiritual knowledge amassed from books is like building a house of cards; a little troublesome wind will overturn it. But knowledge gained through direct perception is eternal, unshakable. Seek God in the "book" of your heart through daily, divine meditation.

Once our innate divinity is revealed, we must act in accordance with it. True revelation purifies heart and mind, and spontaneous goodness—kindness in thought, speech, and action—springs forth like grasses after the rain.

People seek God for different reasons—health, wealth, knowledge, or love. What brings us to the path is not as important as our commitment to remain steadfast in the pursuit of truth.

God is infinitely approachable and accessible and requires nothing of us to deserve love.

Any spiritual discipline we practice is for our own sake, not for God. Our practice does not change God; it changes us. Spiritual practice helps us remove doubt, and experience directly the unconditional divine love that is already present.

When something precious is lost, people respond according to their nature. Some will mourn and seek solace, some will begin to look where they think it might be found, others will inquire as to where it was last seen, and some will remain serene knowing it is all in God's hands. Devotees in search of truth follow different paths to God-realization.
