“To be happy, it is not enough to have a family, friends, a job and leisure. The proof is the number of people there are you might consider privileged but who are not happy! Why? Because they do not know how to respond to their soul’s needs. The soul needs to live in immense, infinite, limitless space. And yet, humans continually constrict their soul, fetter it and stifle it; they want it to make do with trifles – a little material success, a little pleasure, a little gossip… Then, the soul suffers and complains to them: ‘I want to be free, and you, with your ordinary, petty occupations and worries, keep me in fetters. I am a daughter of God, space is my element, I need to expand into the vastness of heaven.’

So, for at least a few minutes, experience allowing your soul to soar up and expand in space. Allow it to escape, to the point where it merges with the whole universe. And then you will know the meaning of happiness.”

“In order to do what is right each day, it is important to keep a check on how much value you give to feeling and how much to thought. Observe yourself: see how often your feelings, passions and instincts are in charge, and your thinking has retreated and just allows what is happening; or else, it intervenes, but only in order to allow your passions to fulfil their aims. Well, that is called living in anarchy. When thinking does not fulfil its role, that is, when it is not applying itself to controlling feelings and desires, there is anarchy.

Have you ever wondered why Cosmic Intelligence has placed the head at the top of the body and the heart a little lower down? It is the same with a ship: the captain is up above, and the engines are below. The engines make the ship move forward, but the captain decides on the direction. We also have an engine, our heart, which drives our ship. But where will the heart go if it is not directed by the head, by the captain, who is up above, watching and giving orders so that the ship arrives safely?”

“You are used to taking life as it comes, never suspecting that events are a substance you need to prepare, just as you prepare food by cooking it and adding certain ingredients to it – oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and so on. And, in the same way, you do not eat fish as they are, straight from the sea, or vegetables as they are, straight from the earth.

So cooking is the art of making all kinds of produce edible, delicious even, which would otherwise be indigestible or bland if you did not take care to clean them, cook them and season them.

And it is the same with happiness. Happiness is the result of a whole process of inner cooking. Life’s good moments do not present themselves spontaneously, and you do not pick them the way you pick a ripe fruit from the tree on your way by. You must learn to work on each situation, particularly on the difficult, painful ones, adding elements from your spirit and your soul – elements of divine wisdom and love.”
