It's not who you are on the inside but what you do that defines you!

This knowledge would be of vlaue to me in my ministry. The more I knew about my fellowman, the better I could understand and help him. This was my mission in life: to help each man and woman know his real self and how to express his true potential. This journey had helped me realize how much work there was for me to do and how much I had to learn myself before I could proceed with my life work.
God, our Father, expects us to become perfect manifestations of His idea of perfect man. This idea of perfect man is implanted within each individual and is the inner spiritual motivation for growing and developing the body, and for all of the conditions and circumstances in which he lives. This is called the Son of God or Christ and is in every individual as the SEED IDEA, or pattern for growth and development.

A virtuous man or woman who is determined to develop the Supreme Enlightened Mind, should thus develop it: I have to lead all living beings to put a stop to (reincarnation) and escape (suffering), and when they have been so led, not one of them in fact stops (reincarnating) or escapes suffering. Why? Because, if a Bodhisattva believes in the notion of an ego, a personality, or a living being, he is not a true Bodhisattva.
We can not live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.
