“Suffering cheerfully endured ceases to be suffering and is transmuted into an ineffable joy.

But one who is cheerfully ready for anything and everything that comes escapes all pain, his cheerfulness acts as an anaesthetic.”

Everything which has a name and a form ceases one day to exist in that particular mode, though it does not cease to be a creation of God.”
