"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly"

.....and.....

What the butterfly called a hurricane force wind, the master calls a breeze.

"Your Heart or Soul, the true and deepest consciousness of your being, is like a wave on the ocean of consciousness. Like the wave on the regular ocean, the wave of your consciousness is one with, made of, and shares the attributes and qualities of the Ocean of Infinite Consciousness"

"I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals—
I know what the caged bird feels!

I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting—
I know why he beats his wing!

I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,—
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings—
I know why the caged bird sings!"

"the Master does not see evil as a force to resist, but simply as an opaqueness, a state of self-absorption that is in disharmony with the universal process, so that, as with a dirty window, the light can't shine through. This freedom from moral categories allows him his great compassion for the wicked and the selfish"

Love is like a cloud, it holds a lot of rain.

Love is like a flame, it burns you when its hot.
