Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes, And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills, Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills: — He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass: Environment …
A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.
Love and grief our hearts dividing, With our tears His feet we bathe; Constant still, in faith abiding, Life deriving from His death.
The heart that sins must sorrow.
None but right acts can follow right thoughts; none but a right life can follow right acts; and by living a right life all blessedness is achieved.
Act is the blossom of thought, and joy and suffering are its fruits.
