Rejoice when you meet people who expose your weaknesses!
Rejoice when they can show you your faults!
Do not cast these people away – instead, stay close to them;
life is not about your ego, it is about being honed

Do not be smug when you have trained a thought!
Pride fuels sly mutiny

If God gives – alleluia!
If God takes away – alleluia!
Only God is God – alleluia!

Make me as you wish
it does not matter who I become
as long as I am yours

There once was a woman who believed that everything was One and so she stopped caring about suffering or injustice or the desecration of the earth. Instead, she sat on her meditation cushion and listened to the screams coming in through her window and meditated on how the screaming was, also, part of the One. Then she went to sleep.

so you can come to the self
so you can come to what is larger

What you want, Lord
might not be what I want –
so teach me, please
