Scimus autem quoniam diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum, iis qui secundum propositum vocati sunt sancti. And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.

When women feel unprotected, they go berserk and start lighting the whole house on fire, even though that is suicidal and they lose everything. Unprotected women just get carried away by fear and anger and strike everything, including themselves. Whose job is it to protect women? The deep state is berserk women in and from academe, women who have been able to make men terrified of them when they should be terrified themselves of offending men. Now, whose fault is that in origin?

Man, marry a woman who is afraid to offend your beauty and goodness. Woman, marry a man whose beauty and goodness you are afraid to offend.

St. Paul means this as he exhorts husbands to treat their wives — and by extension, men in general to treat women in general — as Christ treats His Own Body, The Church; and wives to honor their husbands — and by extension, women in general to honor men in general — as The Church honors her Lord Jesus The Christ, with purity of thoughts, words, and deeds.

Man, you want a princess, you must be a prince. Woman, you want a prince, you must be a princess. The laws of chivalry bind all parties, not just one.

Whatever happens is a pas de dieu and not merely a pas de deux. The world is orderly and proper or she is unlivable.

The Guru is needed when you have the Guri (goal or aim in Telugu). If you do not have that urge, what can the teacher do? Strewing precious seeds on sand or rock is a sheer waste! Inner prompting to see light must send aspirants to the teacher or must draw the teacher to wherever the aspirant is. You must inquire and discriminate: Do objects grant happiness? Is anyone happy? How can one be happy through multiplications of desire and frantic efforts to feed the raging fire? At last, you will, by your own experience, discover that happiness is an inner gift, a spiritual treasure that can be won by equanimity. The moon is the presiding deity of the mind; it must shine, cool and comforting, eternally, in fullness, in the inner firmament of the heart (hriday-akasa). The external material moon waxes and wanes, but the internal mind should be trained to stand up against modifications and moods, and have no marks on it; it should always be a full moon for the victorious spiritual aspirant!
