You have the free will to either allow it to govern your life, or not to allow it to affect you. The choice is always yours!

• Joy is there everywhere; it is superfluous, unnecessary; nay, it very often contradicts the most peremptory behests of necessity. It exists to show that the bonds of law can only be explained by love; they are like body and soul. Joy is the realisation of the truth of oneness, the oneness of our soul with the world and of the world-soul with the supreme lover.

• A fish cannot drown in water,
  A bird does not fall in air.
  In the fire of creation,
  God doesn't vanish:
  The fire brightens.

  must live in its own true nature;
  How could I resist my nature,
  That lives for oneness with God?

• Man, the more he gains freedom in the sense of emerging from the original oneness with man and nature and the more he becomes an "individual," has no choice but to unite himself with the world in the spontaneity of love and productive work or else to seek a kind of security by such ties with the world as destroy his freedom and the integrity of his individual self.
