Touch your heart, or let your heart be touched. You will discover how much warmth and gentleness is there, how much space. This feeling turns into a longing to be fully human. It turns into a longing to be there for friends in trouble and to be of real help for our planet.

It is a universal law that what you say and do determines what happens in your life. Recognize that you and this law are one, cultivate yourself in accord with it, bringing moderation to your actions and clarity to your mind. This is a profound simple truth; what you do is what you are.
It is important not to get intoxicated by success. Do not skip any stages in your progress, go slowly step by step as though hesitant. It is important to remain mindful, conscientious, and consistent. Only such calm, steady progress, overleaping nothing, leads you to your goals.
Quote: Compassion is both a force in the universe as well as a human experience.
