Lesson 261

He makes God his guide, and men make him theirs.

Excerpt

The true Sage is free from all embarrassments. All things are to him as One. Yet he knows not that this is so. It is simply nature, In the midst of action he remains the same. He makes God his guide, and men make him theirs.

Today, before an important action, simply ask yourself whether it goes in the direction of what connects beings rather than what separates them.
