Who you are should be established by the way you are within yourself, not by what you do.

By trying to punish someone, you only end up punishing yourself.

On one level, life is effervescent and active. On another level, it is absolutely still. The inner stillness nourishes the outer activity.

In the most basic form, misery means you are thinking or feeling something you do not like. Joy means what you like is happening in your thought and emotion.

What you refer to as God or the Creator is pure intelligence - intelligence beyond logic.
