Do you live for happiness?

Before your eyes can see God, they must be incapable of shedding tears, for any suffering of your own. Before your ears can hear, they must have lost sensitiveness.

Your voice may not speak eternal wisdom until it has no power to wound.

Before your self can stand in the presence of the Eternal, its feet must have been bathed in the blood of suffering, penance and restitution. Then kill the ambition to excel in the poor paths of fame.

Cease to regard this life, as your best possession. Then work for God, as earnestly as others work for Mammon, and respect thy life as those respect life who treasure it most—be happy, as those who live for happiness.
