Small Teachings

Just as the rays of the sun absorb water vapor from the sea, gather them into clouds, and drop them as rain on earth so that they may flow as rivers back into the sea, likewise, the senses of man contact the world and collect experiences, out of which the sacred and sustaining ones are selected, stored, and utilized by the mind as values, as instruments for, uplifting the individual and society.  These values are truth, right action, peace, non-violence, and love.  For the first four the last value love, is the life-giving spring, they can be achieved most quickly by love.

Sanathana Sarathi, June 1985, p. 158

The body is the temple of God; in everybody, God is installed, whether the owner of the body recognizes it or not.  It is God that inspires you to good acts, that warns you against the bad.  Listen to that Voice.  Obey that Voice and you will not come to any harm.
