THE GAYAN
SURAS
(Sura: God speaking through
the kindled soul.)
Blessed is he who has found
in life his life's purpose. Blessed is he who rests in the abode of his
soul.
Blessed is he who hears the
call from the minaret of his heart.
Blessed is he who sees the
star of his soul as the light that is seen in the port from the sea.
Blessed are the innocent
who believe and trust.
Blessed are they who patiently
strive in the cause of truth and do not weary.
Blessed are they who fear
lest they cause another the slightest hurt by thought, word, or deed.
Blessed are the unselfish
friends and they whose motto in life is constancy.
Blessed are they who cover
the scars of others even from their own sight.
Blessed are the proud in
God, for they shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are they who make
willing sacrifices in kindness.
Verily, the heart that cherishes
the love of God will be crowned with glory on the last day.
Verily, the heart that repeats
constantly the Sacred Name is exalted.
Verily, the heart that reflects
the divine Light is illuminated.
Verily, the heart that is
responsible to the divine Word is liberated.
Verily, the heart that
receives the divine Peace is blessed.
Verily, blessing is for every
soul; for every soul, whatever be his faith or belief, belongs to God.
Verily, to be envied is he
who loves and asks no return.
Verily, it is truth that
every soul is seeking.
Verily, the one who is hopeful
will succeed in life.
Verily, life is one continual
battle, and he alone is victorious who has conquered himself.
Verily, all that leads to
happiness is good.
Verily the man who considers
human feelings is spiritual.
Verily, the man who holds
the world is greater than the world; he whom the world holds is smaller.
Spiritual attainment is attuning
oneself to a higher pitch. As the shadow is evident yet non-existent, so
is evil.
It is the tongue of flame
that speaks the truth, not the tongue of flesh.
Faith reaches what reason
fails to touch.
There is a limit to the precautions
one takes in the affairs of one's life; and the horizon of the limit is
one's trust in God.
The sunglass reflects the
heart of the sun; the contemplative heart reflects the divine qualities.
The period of one's spiritual
development depends upon the rhythm of one's life.
All things which one seeks
in God such as light, life, strength, joy and peace, these all can
be found in truth.
Truth is the evidence of
God, and God is the evidence of truth.
There is as much likeness
between falsehood and truth as there is between the person and his shadow,
the difference being that while the former has life the latter has none.
Verily, when man rises above
the earth, the earth is at his feet; but when he falls beneath the earth,
the earth is over his head.
Verily, the soul has no birth,
no death, no beginning, no end. Sin cannot touch it, nor can virtue exalt
it; it has always been and always will be, and all else is its cover like
a globe over the light.
When man doses his lips,
God begins to speak.
There is no teacher save
God; we all learn from Him.
The soul in its journey onward
strikes a plane where it exclaims, "I am the truth."
It is preferable to all wealth
we earn in life, and all friends we have attracted through life, if our
conscience says at the moment when we are passing from earth, "Thou art
true."
Spiritual attainment is to
become conscious of the Perfect One, who is formed in the heart.
Self-will is the strength
of the spirit; but when the false ego expresses self-will, a soul, instead
of rising, fails. The spirit becomes entitled to have self-will when the
soul is evolved. "Blessed are the poor in spirit."
