I do not give you a card. I can give you only a great passion for the study. Yes, the map and do not need - only required the greatest passion, great desire to explore the world. So I'll leave you alone. So you have to go by themselves. Go to the unknown and the infinite, and gradually learn to trust it. Give yourself into the hands of life. "

On the contrary, avoided the imposition of the commandments and unquestioning of their implementation. "My first request (or invitation) is: do not let her die in doubt. Do not imitate: to be someone very hard to become someone very easily, all you need to do - be a hypocrite. Beware of knowledge - knowing become so easy . Forget the word "prayer", replace it with love. Love is not to some invisible God. Love to appear - human beings, animals, trees, oceans, mountains. Put on the wings of love as wide as you can .. "
