Light

Sometimes humans beg for battles to be taken away from them, not realizing that only in struggling with shadows is the Light made manifest.

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

I am not bound to win, I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to the light I have.

"Human tendencies are explicity bound to the notions of light and love. "

Here life goes on, even and monotonous on the surface, full of lightning, of summits and of despair, in its depths. We have now arrived at a stage in life so rich in new perceptions that cannot be transmitted to those at another stage - one feels at the same time full of so much gentleness and so much despair - the enigma of this life grows, grows, drowns one and crushes one, then all of a sudden in a supreme moment of light one becomes aware of the sacred.

Seeing the small is called Clarity.
Keeping flexible is called Strength.
Using the shining Radiance,
You enter the Light,
Where no harm can come to you.
This is called Enlightenment.

When you get to the end of all the light you know and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.

There is always Light in the darkness, no matter how small it appears

 “I  honor the place in you

where the entire Universe resides.

 I honor the place

of love, of light, of truth, of peace.  

I honor the place within you where

if you are in that place in you,

and I am in that place in me,

there is only one of us.”
