But when it is inside the flower, it noiselessly drinks the nectar.
So long as a person quarrels and disputes about doctrines and dogmas,
They have not tasted the nectar of true faith.
When they have tasted it, they become quiet and full of peace.
Spirituality automatically leads to humility.
When a flower develops into a fruit the petals drop off on its own.
When one becomes spiritual
The ego vanishes gradually on its own.
A tree laden with fruits always bends low.
Humility is a sign of greatness.

You speak of doing good to the world.
Is the world such a small thing?
And who are you, pray, to do good to the world?
First realise God.
See God by means of spiritual disciplines.
If God imparts power, you can do good to others, otherwise not.
The sun can give heat and light to the whole world, but it cannot do so when the clouds shut out the rays.
In the same way, as long as egotism veils a heart,
God cannot shine upon it.
