GAMAKA

Why was I born, O God, if not to find Thee?
When the unreality of life pushes agains my heart, its door opens to reality...
The past was my dream, the present is my play, and the future will be my plan.
I reach thee before my feet can reach thy dwelling place, and i see Thee before mine eyes can reach Thy spheres...
I was perfected by heaven, but am limited by the earth.
Can anyone break me? No, by doing so, he may as well prepare to break God. Neither I Nor God can be broken; but the one who would wish to break me, he is broken.
I draw all my strength from my humility.
A tongue of flame rises from every wound of my heart, illuminating my path through life and guiding my way to the goal.
The rapidity of my walk the imagination cannot follow.
People often ask me questions which i can not very well answer in words, and it makes me sad to think they are unable to hear the voice of my silence.
But every hurt and harm one causes me, he only makes me know him better
I came as i was made to come; I live as life allows me to live; but I will be what I wish to be
With every pinprick a drop of blood comes out of my heart, and that drop becomes the Wine of Sacrament.
I have not come to teach those who consider themselves teachers. I have come to learn from the teachers and to teach my pupils.
When my heart is perturbed, it upsets the whole universe.
When my heart is asleep, then both worlds fall to a depp slumber.
The whole creation wakes up with the wakening of my heart.When the shell of my heart breaks, pearls are scattered around.
My heart attains self sufficiency by eating its own flesh and by drinking its own blood.
I tremble at the sight of the task that has been given to me, and i feel confounded when i weigh my ideal with my limitations.
What the worlds calls success is to me like a dolls' wedding
I am the wine of the Holy Sacrament; my very being is intoxication; those who drink of my cup and yet keep sober will certainly be illuminated; but those who do not assimilate it will be beside themselves and exposed to the ridicule of the world.
My heart drinks its own tears and puts them forth as pearls
I prefer failure to success gained by false hood.
I am what i am; you make me what you will make me; but I become what I wish to become.
The true exaltation comes to me from the insults I have to endure in life rather than from the respectful attitude of my mureeds.
Many underestimate the greatness of the Cause, seeing the limitation through which I have to work my way out.
The message is a call to those whose hour has come to awake, and it is a lullaby to those who are still meant to sleep.
How can a man claim to be a teacher and at the same time be sane? His teaching must prove him a teacher, not his claim.
The essence of today's message is balance.
You are my life, it is in you that i live
From you i borrow life and you do i gie
O my soul and spirit, you I adore
I live in you, so do I live ever more
You are in me and in you do i live Still you are my King and my sins you forgive
You are the Present and Future and Past
I lost myself, but i have found you at last.
