We have our heads so closed that we think that there can only be one interpretation... ...

... ... but the interpretations are diverse because the angles people see things from are diverse.

This world is on the verge of exploding... 

 ...with no way to end the violence! Do not choose false doors. There are no politics that can solve this mad urge for violence. 

There is no political party or movement on the planet that can end the violence. Do not choose false doors that promise to lead away from the violence in the world… 

Only inner faith and inner meditation can end the violence in you, in others, and in the world around you. All the other doors are false and do not lead away from this violence. 

Silo, Public Talk, the Healing of Suffering, Punta de Vacas, May 4, 1969

Without inner faith there is fear…

 …fear producers suffering; suffering produces violence; violence produces destruction. Therefore, inner faith prevents destruction. 

Remember the best moments in your life...

...and you will recognize that they were invariably accompanied by a disinterested giving.

Your selfishness is not a sin...

...but rather the fundamental error in your calculation, for you have naively believed that to receive is better than to give.

“To be thankful” ...

...means to concentrate positive moods and to associate them with an image, with a representation.


It did not strike me as strange to find a devotion to the Sun-god among ancient peoples. And I understood that while some worshipped this heavenly object because it gave life to the earth and to nature, others recognized in that majestic body the symbol of a greater reality.  There were those who went still further and received innumerable gifts from this center, gifts that at times “descended” as tongues of fire over the inspired ones, at times arrived as luminous spheres, and at times appeared as burning bushes before the fearful believer.

Learn to recognize the signs of the sacred...

...within you and around you.
