What is greater than life? The Creation. What is greater than the creation? The Creator. Love life, understand Creation, and, then, and only then, see The Creator
2
The Creation preceeded life and, yet, life was contained within it and so, too, was it contained within God. Love Life with all of your strength and you shall love God
3
Behold the forests. There are many that you do not see. And, yet, they see you
4
Do not fear death. Do not weep. For All remains and shall come again
5
Your mother is beautiful. Your father is beautiful. Your children are beautiful. But Life even more so
6
You ask: Why am I here? Answer: You are here
7
I do not say: Do not eat this, do not do that. Rather I say: Think and be kind
8
Do not blindly believe in Life: Rather think what the universe would be like without it
9
There are many paths but there is only One Life
10
Respect what is: for what else do you have?
11
Do not pray: but do
12
The greatest act of prayer is to honor life and, thus, to bring Joy
13
Strive to make the Universe laugh
14
Life is self-evident, your belief in it only partially so
15
A belief that does not require reason is dangerous. Therefore, I ask you not to believe in life but to ask yourselves: What is more worthy? What more indispensable?
16
Even dirt is holy. Learn this and live
17
Do you see nations? Do you see races? Do you see classes? Do you see man and woman? Learn to see only Life
18
Wars are inevitably the result of wrong beliefs
19
If you take a life you have taken your own
20
Do not punish evil; teach it
21
What is more beautiful than a world united in the belief of Life?
22
You must make a momentous decision? Ask yourself: what shall Life look like at the end of it?
23
You are sad? You are angry? You are lonely? Life is still there
24
You say: I shall not give up the faith of my fathers. I say: you need not give up anything, but add
25
What true prophet has ever said: kill in my name? A faith that requires blood is illogical. For Life itself is the fountain of All
26
And God said: I shall make Man in My image. And that image is Life
27
To love one another is hard. But to believe that Life is the holiest of holies is both logical and necessary
28
Know this: If you persist in past thinking you will bury the future in it
29
How tawdry and tiny are many of the concerns of today: Relearn the depth of Life
30
Knowledge brings joy. But the knowledge that brings Life is the greatest
31
You will know the Cosmos? First save yourselves. Believe in Life
32
The creation must be recreated every day by our hands, hearts, and minds
33
The Gardener is holy
34
All sentience must sing one song: The Love of Life
35
Judaism, Christianity, Islam are great holy Songs: but the instrument is Life
36
You will worship God? Live in such a way so that others may live
37
Create Joy, see God
38
Do not be angry; be wise
39
In the beginning was War but in the End there can be only Life
40
What is it that you wish to gain? See, you have everything already
41
A world where all can freely wander and be astounded at what is there: that is the goal
42
It has been created: Now, you, go forth and create
43
Man is not God. Creation is not God. Life is not God. But it is all we have
44
What is God? Without Life you will never find out
45
There is only one blasphemy, one blasphemer: the destruction of Life
46
Pity the animals for they are the closest to God
47
Religion is that which binds us in the face of unbounded Uncertainty
48
A profound belief in the sacredness of Life shall bind us e’en unto the stars
49
Believe in Life and you shall find Eternity
50
Rejoice! We are all here. Learn the infinite beauty in this. Give me your hand. And live
