men understanding mere
When a man sees the one in all things, he is above mere understanding.
Between God and Me there is no 'Between'.
giving birth awareness
Become aware of what is in you. Announce it, pronounce it, produce it, and give birth to it.
birth all-things
To grasp God in all things--this is the sign of your new birth.
ego way cost
To the extent that you eliminate ego from your activities, God comes into them - but no more and no less. Begin with that, and let it cost you your uttermost. In this way, and no other, is true peace to be found.

We shall find God in everything alike, and find God always alike in everything.
god men hands
Man goes far away or near but God never goes far-off; he is always standing close at hand, and even if he cannot stay within he goes no further than the door.
fighting men thinking
A man should orient his will and all his works to God and having only God in view go forward unafraid, not thinking, am I right or am I wrong? One who worked out all the chances before starting his first fight would never fight at all. And if, going to someplace, we must think how to set the front foot down, we shall never get there. It is our duty to do the next thing: go straight on, that is the right way.
source made
Things are all made from nothing; hence their true source is nothing.
jesus home soul
Jesus went into the temple and boldly drove out those that bought and sold. And when all was cleared, there was nobody left but Jesus. Observe this, for it is the same with us: when he is alone he is able to speak in the temple of the soul. If anyone else is speaking in the temple of your soul, Jesus will keep still, as if he were not at home. And he is not at home wherever there are strange guests-guests with whom the soul holds conversation, guests who are seeking to bargain. If Jesus is to speak and be heard, the soul must be alone and quiet.
god expression made
God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being made and let God be God in you.
looks caught liberated
Therefore, look only for this fishhook, and you will be happily caught. The more you are caught, the more you will be liberated.

He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.
sympathy depression light
Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.
