Lay not on any soul a load that you would not wish to be laid upon you, and desire not for any one the things you would not desire for yourself.
Since We have created you all from one same substance it is incumbent on you to be even as one soul, to walk with the same feet, eat with the same mouth and dwell in the same land, that from your inmost being, by your deeds and actions, the signs of oneness and the essence of detachment may be made manifest. Such is My counsel to you, O concourse of light!
Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration. The remedy the world needeth in its present-day afflictions can never be the same as that which a subsequent age may require. Be anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and centre your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements.
Ascribe not to any soul that which thou wouldst not have ascribed to thee, and say not that which thou doest not.
A thankful person is thankful under all circumstances. A complaining soul complains even in paradise.
Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration.
