My Gratitude
The darkness of ignorance
was blinding my vision. A healing paste has now been appliedthe medicine of true Knowledge. Now my inner eyes are open.
To the Master who helped me, Who removed the layers of ignorance and enabled me to see rightly,
I humbly offer my appreciation and gratitude.

The Four Supreme Gifts
Four supreme gifts there are Which are difficult to earn and attain - First is the gift of being born as a human being;
Second, the gift of being ignited
with a longing to hear the truth and of having that longing fulfilled;
Third, the gift of developing faith in and love for the true teachings one hears;
Fourth, the gift of being so filled with enthusiasm and conviction as to put the teachings into practice in one's daily life.
