In the spiritual life there is only one rule - In viata spirituala exista o singura regula

In the spiritual life there is only one rule, and that is to have faith.

Faith is like a muscle: it can be developed. As we develop our muscle if we exercise regularly, we can also exercise and increase our inner capacity. God does not bring anybody into the world without giving him capacity. Through regular practice we can become inwardly strong. If we concentrate and meditate soulfully and sincerely each  morning, then doubt cannot play its destructive role in us. As we become stronger in our inner life, we will be able to say, ”Let doubt attack me. I shall be able to maintain my perfect faith.”

Unless and until you move

Out of the doubt-neighbourhood,

God will not appear 

Before you

And will not introduce Himself to you.

In viata spirituala exista o singura regula, si aceasta este credinta.

Credinta este asemeni unui muschi: poate fi dezvoltata. Asa cum ne dezvoltam muschii daca facem exercitii cu regularitate, putem de asemenea sa ne exersam si sa ne marim capacitatea interioara. Dumnezeu nu aduce pe nimeni in lume fara sa-i dea capacitate. Prin practica regulata putem deveni puternici in interior. Daca ne concentram si meditam cu insufletire si sinceritate in fiecare dimineata, atunci indoiala nu poate sa-si joace rolul distructiv. Pe masura ce devenim mai puternici in viata noastra interioara, vom putea sa spunem  „ Lasa indoiala sa ma atace. Voi fi capabil sa imi pastrez credinta mea perfecta.”

Pana cand nu iesi

Din vecinatatea-indoielii

Dumnezeu nu va aparea

In fata ta

Si nu ti se va prezenta.
