It is the peaceful who can contemplate; one who has no peace cannot contemplate properly. Therefore, all things pertaining to spiritual progress in life depend upon peace.

I know that the more I humble myself to others, the broader my understanding of God has actually become.

  • He who has not yet attained divine knowledge energized by love is proud of his spiritual progress.

  • To wage war on misery and to struggle against injustice is to promote, along with improved conditions, the human and spiritual progress of all men, and therefore the common good of humanity. Peace cannot be limited to a mere absence of war, the result of an ever precarious balance of forces. No, peace is something that is built up day after day, in the pursuit of an order intended by God, which implies a more perfect form of justice among men.

    Spiritual   Peace   War

Only then shall we be able to acquire that absolute inner calm so necessary to our well-being.

Especially excluded from spiritual life are the animal hunters, who are not interested in hearing and chanting the holy name of the Lord.

  • It is with a rush of home-sickness that the thought of death presents itself.... Such sentiment is the eternal stock of all religions, modified indeed by changes of time and place, but indestructible, because its root is so deep in the earth of man's nature. The breath of religious initiators passes over them; a few "rise up with wings as eagles" [Isaiah 40:31], but the broad level of religious life is not permanently changed. Religious progress, like all purely spiritual progress, is confined to a few.

  • Calmness is the criterion of spiritual progress. Plunge the purified mind into the Heart. Then the work is over.
