There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved. It is the finger of God on a man's shoulder.

The sprouting of lust should be nipped in the heart, O dear mendicant, without that the mission can never be complete.

        The offshoot of desire should be sundered from the conscience, O mendicant, without that effort for spiritual upliftment can never succeed, the course can never be complete.

        Make the heart soft, softer than flower, and let it be spongy with the floods of obstacles or misfortune.  Make it affectionate to such an extent that it remains humble even by the touch of every soft insignificant molecule.

        Let love and beauty break forth from thy veins!  Let the speech flow like the nectar-like Ganga purifying those that are filthy and fallen!  And apply everywhere the love flowing from thy eyes.  Anoint the Deity in the celestial temple of mind and guard lest anybody else except Him should be enthroned on the seat of the soul!  Make the beginning for such a spiritual enterprise, O my dear mendicant, thou shalt become the perpetual peace, the benedictory track of bliss, and whatever thou wishest will all be easily achieved!
