Guest guest Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 We should ask God To help us toward manners. Inner gifts Do not find their way To creatures without just respect. If a man or a woman flails about, he not only Smashes his house, He burns the world down. Your depression is connected to your insolence And your refusal to praise. If a man or a woman is On the path, and refuses to praise - that man or woman Steals from others every day - in fact is a shoplifter! The sun became full of light when it got hold of itself. Angels began shining when they achieved discipline. The sun goes out whenever the cloud of non-praising comes near. The moment that foolish angel felt insolent, he heard the door close. ***** from "The Soul Is Here For Its Own Joy" translated by Robert Bly Ecco Press 1995 ***** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
