Prayers and Meditations

In the perfect silence of my contemplation all widens to infinity, and in the perfect peace of that silence Thou appearest in the resplendent glory of Thy Light.

But immediately the aspiration rises, still more ardent, "Spare this being all weakness; suffer it to be the docile and clear-eyed instrument of Thy work, whatever that work may be."

How humiliating to ask something for oneself from Life or from the Supreme Consciousness which animates it! [...] For all is within our reach, only the egoistic limits of our being prevent us from enjoying the whole universe as completely and concretely as we possess our own body and its immediate surroundings.

... all earth sings a hymn of gladness, the grasses shudder with pleasure, the air is vibrant with light, the trees lift towards heaven their most ardent prayer, the chant of the birds becomes a canticle, the waves of the sea billow with love, the smile of children tells of the infinite and the souls of men appear in their eyes.

What difference is there between the human body and the body of a tree? In truth, there is none, the consciousness which animates them is identically the same.

"... Nothing remains of the past but a potent love which gives me the pure heart of a child and the lightness and freedom of thought of a god."

"Lose not courage, be firm, be confident,— I COME."

GLORY to Thee, O Lord, who triumphest over every obstacle. Grant that nothing in us shall be an obstacle in Thy work. Grant that nothing may retard Thy manifestation.
