WHEN YOU SEE BEAUTY AND PERFECTION IN THIS WORLD , IT IS NOTHING BUT A SIGN OF HIM. A BEAUTIFUL CREATION IS MERELY A SINGLE BLOSSOM FROM THE VAST GARDEN OF GOD. BUT REMEMBER THAT A PICTURE FADES, A FLOWER DIES, AND THE REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR IS ECLIPSED BY THE REAL LIGHT. IT IS GOD WHO IS REAL AND REMAINS SO FOREVER. SO WHY WASTE YOUR TIME OVER SOMETHING THAT IS HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMORROW? GO DIRECTLY TO THE SOURCE WITHOUT DELAY.

WE ARE BY NATURE ASTONISHINGLY HEEDLESS AND INCAPABLE OF GRATITUDE. WE CAN SPEND A WHOLE LIFETIME ENJOYING VARIOUS BENEFITS AND NOT APPECIATE THEIR VALUE UNTIL WE ARE DEPRIVED OF THEM. HOW MANY LOVERS BOLDLY CONTEMPLATE SEPARATION, FONDLY IMAGINING THAT THEY HAD ENOUGH OF THE BELOVED. AND YET AS SOON AS THEY ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE SEPARATION, THEY BURN UP WITH LONGING.

IT IS A PRINCIPLE OF BEAUTY THAT A FAIR FACE CAN NOT BEAR TO REMAIN HIDDIN BEHIND THE CURTAIN; IT IS INCAPABLE OF MODESTY, AND IF YOU CLOSE THE DOOR ON IT, IT WILL ONLY APPEAR AT THE WINDOW. AS YOU YOURSELF KNOW, WHEN A RARE AND WONDERFUL IDEA ARISES IN YOUR MIND, YOU BECOME OBESSED WITH IT AND HAVE TO EXPRESS IT IN SPEECH OR WRITING.

HOW LUCKY THE HEART WHERE LOVE MAKES ITS HOME, FOR LOVE MAKES IT FORGET THE CARES OF THE WORLD! LOVE IS LIKE A BOLT OF LIGHTENING WHICH SETS FIRE TO PATIENCE AND REASON AND REDUCES THEM TO NOTHING.THE LOVE BECOMES CARELESSS OF HIS OWN SAFETY.MOUNTAINS BLAMES WEIGH FOR HIM THAN A STRAW, CRITICISM ONLY INCREASES HIS PASSION .

ALL THE ATOMS OF THE UNIVERSE BECAME SO MANY MIRRORS, EACH REFLECTING AN ASPECT OF ETERNAL SPLENDOR. A PORTION FELL ON THE ROSE, WHICH DROVE THE NIGHTANGALE MAD WITH LOVE, ITS ARDOR INFLAMED THE CANDLE'S CHEEK AND HUNDREDS OF MOTHS CAME FROM EVERY SIDE AND BURNED THEMSELVES ON IT. IT SET THE SUN ABLAZE, AND MADE THE WATER LILLY LOOM UP FROM THE DEPTHS -

THE HEART THAT IS FREE OF LOVE SICKNESS ISN'T A HEART AT ALL. THE BODY DEPRIVED OF THE PANGS OF LOVE IS NOTHING BUT CLAY AND WATER.

Human qualities are Divine qualities in a manifested form. They relate to the Divine Attributes like a part to the whole. Union consists in forsaking all else and being wholly engrossed in the contemplation of the one Unique Being.

IF LOVE MANIFESTS ITSELF WITHIN YOU, IT HAS ITS ORIGINS IN BEAUTY. YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A MIRROR IN WHICH BEAUTY IS REFLECTED. BECAUSE BEAUTY AND ITS REFLECTION ARE BOTH FROM THAT ONE SOURCE, IT IS BOTH TREASURE AND TREASURE HOUSE.

The various grades of created things are theatres of His revelaed beauty, and all things that exist are mirrors of His perfection.And in this course you must persevere until He mingles Himself with your soul, and your own individual existence passes out of your sight.
