A Man Develops A Subtle Power As A Result Of The Strict Observance Of Celibacy For Twelve Years. Then He Can Understand And Grasp Very Subtle Things Which Otherwise Elude His Intellect. Through That Understanding The Aspirant Can Have Direct Vision Of God. That Pure Understanding Alone Enables Him To Realize Truth.

One Cannot Attain Divine Knowledge Till One Gets Rid Of Pride. Water Does Not Stay On The Top Of A Mound; But Into Low Land It Flows In Torrents From All Sides.

The Magnetic Needle Always Points To The North, And Hence It Is That Sailing Vessel Does Not Lose Her Direction. So Long As The Heart Of Man Is Directed Towards God, He Cannot Be Lost In The Ocean Of Worldliness.

So Long As The Bee Is Outside The Petals Of The Lily, And Has Not Tasted The Sweetness Of Its Honey, It Hovers Around The Flower Emitting The Buzzing Sound; But When It Is Inside The Flower, It Noiselessly Drinks The Nectar. So Long As A Man Quarrels And Disputes About Doctrines And Dogmas, He Has Not Tasted The Nectar Of True Faith; When He Has Tasted It, He Becomes Quiet And Full Of Peace.

When The Flower Blooms, The Bees Come Uninvited.
