Pure men reach God without the aid of clerics or scholars since they are already saints in the Lord, who instructs as he wants, when he wants and where he wants.

2'.

The end is like the beginning, but the middle enlightens us. "The Prayer. The Star. The Stone."

All the works of the world cannot be compared to the tiniest of God's creatures.

21'.

The smallest flower represents the Universe. But only man contains it entirely.

22.

Evil and hatred are so closely associated with death that they become unconscious through the weakness and mediocrity of our hearts.
But goodness and love are so well attached to life that they only subsist in the awakened consciousness and in the activity of a loving heart.

22'.

We must detach ourselves from created forms but in order to possess creation in its primary substance and in its hidden essence. And the more rest increases, the more attention must grow in order to survive the dissolution of water and the coagulation of fire. "One chooses nothing once one is dead."
