A pure heart to receive the teachings, and a pure heart to put them into practice—that is how the heart grows.

The heart that enables us to move freely through this world is the Heart of the Earth—the soil-like heart that transforms everything it receives into nourishment for growth.

The foremost cause of human suffering is not knowing the purpose for which we have been given life in this world.

To be born into this world is to be enrolled in a school for the cultivation, growth, and education of the heart.

This world is a school where the heart is meant to grow. Faith is the discipline through which that growth takes place.

True faith calls us to move from seeking to make the Divine serve our wishes to seeking to serve the Divine Will.

The spiritual ideal of faith is a world in which the Divine and humanity live in mutual reverence, gratitude, and shared joy.

True faith receives blessings when prayers are fulfilled, yet gradually comes to realize that even prayers left unanswered can be among the Divine's greatest blessings.

The discipline of faith is to continually seek and inquire into the Divine Will. 06-04-2026
