641) Weeping is the rain of Love, it fecundates the arid earth of those who are separated from the One.
642) The Souls of those who possess nothing are free from the wheel. In order to reincarnate, they act like the pivot of a wheel. Attain that condition, but don’t think about it.
643) Those who observe the sage observe nothing. Only an awakened being can comprehend a sage. Those who believe to comprehend are fools.
644) The Soul of one who has realized absolute simplicity contemplates the relative complexities of sentient beings who are his aim, and whose aim is him.
645) A smile is a sky of Love which illuminates the breath of those who yearn for Union with God. They begin to follow the path they had always unknowingly followed.
646) The Soul which no longer has a face possesses all faces; it is the mask of the Immense. Used by Him, it knows only Love.
647) The Souls of those who are transparent have no sides. Therefore, they have no weight, and leave no footprints. In order to leave footprints, they apparently use form.
648) The rainbow is their bow, the colors of creation their arrows, the sea of sentient beings in chaos, their target.
649) The Souls of those who are multitude no longer know solitude. Prayer, meditation, contemplation of a universe are adjectives or verbs without an “I” or subject.
