TRIGUEIRINHO - Calling Humanity

“Sweet are the fruits of Repose and of Liberation for love of
the Self; however, sweeter still are the fruit of long and arduous
duty: the Renouncing for love of others, for the fellow beings that
are suffering.”
“Do not trust in the senses. Avoid compliments. Compliments
lead to self-illusion. Turn your face away from the deceptions of
the world.”
“Devotion can restore to you the knowledge that was yours
in previous births.”
“Give light and comfort to the tired pilgrim. Seek the one
who knows less than you do, that one who in his miserable desolation
is famished for the bread of wisdom, that one who is without
Instructor, hope or consolation. Lead him to hear the Law.”
“Perfection can seem remote, very remote; but the pilgrim has
taken the first step. He has entered in the current and may acquire
the sight of the mountain eagle, the hearing of the shy doe.”
“If you cannot be the Sun, then be the humble planet. Although
without distinction and lost among many others, it shows the Path,
as the evening star does for those who follow its trail in the dark.”
“Be more humble, once you have acquired Wisdom. Be more
humble still when you have mastered Wisdom. Be like the ocean
that receives all the rivers and streams. Its immense serenity
remains unaltered; it does not feel them.”
“Presumption resembles a high tower in which an arrogant
lunatic has climbed. The arrogant person proudly repeats: ‘Look, I
know.’ The humble confess in a lowered voice: ‘I heard it like this’.”
