"Beware... lest ye estrange yourselves from the servants of God. You must consider all His servants as your own family... God has created men to love each other." (Pup 465) (76:4)

"You must love your friend better than yourself, yes, be willing to sacrifice yourself." "Be most loving one to another. Burn away, wholly for the sake of the Well- Beloved, the veil of self with the flame of the undying Fire, and with faces joyous and beaming with light, associate with your neighbor." (Pup 213; Bwf 118) (76:5)

"Cleanse from your hearts the love of worldly things,... from your entire being whatsoever... may tempt you to follow the promptings of your evil and corrupt inclinations. Let God be your fear, O people." (Gl 275) (76:6)

"The essence of love is for man to turn his heart to the Beloved One, and sever himself from all else but God, and desire naught save that which is the desire of his Lord." (Bwf 140- 1) (76:7)

"The true seeker hunteth naught but the object of his quest, and the lover hath no desire save union with his beloved. Nor shall the seeker reach his goal unless he sacrifice all things." (7 Val p7) (76:8)

At times "there is an immediate and vivid perception by the soul. Exhilaration is experienced. The soul (in the world of dreams) journeys, perceives, senses. It often happens that a man in a state of wakefulness has not been able to accomplish the solution of a problem, and when he goes to sleep he will reach that solution in a dream." (Pup 411) (76:9)
