So when I abandon my repentance, and my prayers, and my services and gifts when I sign away all my expectations on account of all religious attainments, and accept Christ alone as my soul's portion my act does not intimate that I count little on the various graces of the Spirit in a disciple's life: it means that in Christ and with him I have all good things in measure infinite, in duration eternal.
He could still get to Hampstead by eight o'clock, if he took a cab say, twenty minutes. He could spare him another ten. The Junior Journalists were coming back from their dinner and the room would soon be crowded. He took his disciple's arm in a protecting manner and steered him into a near recess. He felt that the ten minutes he was about to give him would be decisive in the young man's career.
Wharton soon found out the master passion, offered sympathy, advice and assistance, and, while seeming to be only the minister of his disciple's pleasures, made sure of his disciple's vote.

Refreshed by her dip in the Infinite, Ananda Moyi Ma was now focusing her consciousness on the material world.
No one should take it that the Soul, in consequence of its apparent union with the body and the senses and the other propensities and beliefs and unbeliefs, is really endued therewith as its necessary and absolute qualities. On the other hand, the Soul should be taken as existing in its own nature. Thus did the divine Rishi solve the doubt that had taken possession of his disciple's mind.
Be like Him here, and you shall be like Him hereafter. I. Likeness to the teacher in wisdom is the disciple's perfection.
What Peter said hid a force greater than any word of the disciple's. It voiced the crucial temptation of Jesus' life. Jesus was not content with a mere rebuke of his impulsive disciple. In his first announcement of his death as necessary he had also declared that it would not be a tragedy, but would be followed by a resurrection.
