  There are many little things in everyday living that can easily cause disunity and disharmony. Rise above them and unite on what matters in life: on your love for Me, on your love for each other, on living and working for the good of the whole, and on forgetting the self and all those pretty little incidents that keep rearing their heads regarding personal likes and dislikes. It is when a soul feels strongly that its way is right and flatly refuses to give one way or the other that sooner or later something has to give. When you stretch a piece of elastic until it can stretch no more, it will either break or, if released suddenly, snap back and hurt you. But if you can release it gently, it will go back into place without breaking or causing and unnecessary pain or suffering. Why not open your heart and ease that strain and tension gently? Love and understanding will always help to smooth the way.
  在每一天的生活中有很多小事情,它們可以很輕易地導致不和諧與不一致。超越它們,然後統一那些對生活重要的事情:我們對上天的愛,我們對彼此的愛,那些對全體利益有幫助的事情,忘記自我以及那些不斷冒出來只關注個人喜惡的微小事件。是當一個靈魂強烈地感到自己方式是正確的,並斷然拒絕放棄這個或其他的方式,那麼遲早會付出代價。
  當我拉長一條鬆緊帶直到它再也無法被拉得更長,它要嘛會破裂,或者,如果我突然放手,它就會反彈回來傷害到我。但如果我可以緩慢地放開它,它就會回到原狀,不會破裂或是導致不必要的痛苦與折磨。為什麼不敞開我的心,並緩慢地讓那壓力與緊張放鬆呢?愛與瞭解總是會幫助(我)將這條道路變得更加平坦。
