Make pure thy heart, and thou wilt make thy life rich,
sweet and beautiful, unmarred by strife.
Guard well thy mind, and noble, strong, and free.
nothing shall harm, disturb, or conquer thee, for all thy foes are in thy heart and mind.
There also thy salvation thou wilt find.
FORWARD
Confucius said, The perfecting of oneself is the fundamental base of all progress and all
moral development. A maxim as profound and comprehensive as it is simple, practical.
and uninvolved, for there is no sure way to knowledge,
nor no better way to help the world
than by perfecting oneself,
nor is there any nobler work or higher science
than that of self-perfection.
He who studies how to become faultless,
who strives to be pure-hearted,
who aims at the possession of a calm, wise, and seeing mind,
engages in the most sublime task that man can undertake,
and the results of which are perceptible in a well-ordered, blessed, and beautiful life.
James Allen
The Heart and the Life
As the heart, so is the life.
The within is ceaselessly becoming the without.
Nothing remains unrevealed.
That which is hidden is but for time.
It ripens and comes forth at last.
Seed, tree, blossom.
and fruit is the fourfold order of the universe.
From the state of a man's heart proceed the conditions of his life.
His thoughts blossom into deeds,
and his deeds bear the fruitage of character and destiny.
Life is ever unfolding from within, and revealing itself to the light,
and thoughts engendered in the heart at last reveal themselves
and words, actions, and things accomplished. As the fountain from the hidden spring, so
issues man's life from the secret recesses of his heart. All that he is and does is generated
there. All that he will be and do will take its rise there. Sorrow and gladness, suffering
and enjoyment, hope and fear, hatred and love, ignorance and enlightenment are nowhere but
in the heart.
They are solely mental conditions.
Man is the keeper of his heart, the watcher of his mind,
the solitary sentinel of his citadel of life.
As such, he can be diligent or negligent.
He can keep his heart more and more carefully.
He can more strenuously watch and purify his mind.
And he can guard himself against the thinking of unrighteous thoughts.
This is the way of enlightenment and bliss.
On the other hand, he can live loosely and carelessly,
