Meaningful End

Those who go deeply into the matter find it inconceivable that a meaningful universe should culminate in a meaningless end.

Thanklessness

Man regards God’s bounty as stemming from his own efforts and capacities. That is why expressions of thankfulness do not come gushing from his lips for the Giver-God.

Realism

Patience and avoidance are not signs of cowardice or a defeatist mentality. They are simply realistic approaches.

Don’t make enemies

A person will appear an enemy if that is how you see him. If you do not view him with animosity, he will surely be amicable in return.

 

The Hidden Energy

When man is beset by defeat, his inner forces are released. His concealed strength comes to the fore and he sets about redressing his setback.

Erase your mistakes

A man who has made a mistake can completely erase its marks by admitting his mistake and begging forgiveness.

Unreliability

If an individual proves unreliable in one matter, he is likely to evince the same unreliability in other matters.

In the end

The ultimate reckoning should make us examine our lives with the greatest earnestness.

Keep secrets

Disclosure of others’ faults or secrets shows a mindless callousness which breeds

nothing but ill-will.

Let the ego sleep

 More often than not, a person’s ego lies dormant. It is better to leave it sleeping, for the ego can be like a snake, which, when aroused, will harm all within its reach.
