Quotes from Masami Saionji

If you have unconditionally taken in all the words that flood this world, you have acquired an enormous burden. You have lost your freedom; you are in pain;

If you always utter vulgar words or words that pierce others' hearts, hurt them, or cause them to suffer, nobody will. Even your parents and friends who love you would hesitate to do so. Not even one of the words you have uttered will sell; your energy will run low and become negative; you will become poor; and you won't be able to continue to live. This is how you torture yourself with your own words.

It is more important to give positive energy to others than to receive it.

The wonderful words that you give to others have two or three times more power than the energy that you receive from others. This is the law of the universe; this is truth. Therefore, give all that is within you.

Don't criticize your children, your husband, or your wife. You must not take in any prejudices, nor must you give any name to these prejudices: an idiot, a fool, a good-for-nothing, a lazy person, a liar, a beast! The person you call a name will eventually become that name. Even if you may think these thoughts a little, never throw such words directly at people. You should be thoroughly aware of the awesome energy a word carries.

When you utter words which reinforce the truth—that every human being is divine and luminous—and when you also utter words that inspire others' souls, then you have made others truly alive.

Let us become the kind of people who can take pleasure in elevating others, rather than trying to place ourselves in a superior position by lowering others.

If everyone in this world began in the same way to speak only words of love, what would the world be like? Speaking words of love means that all the energy works actively toward the positive. It means talking of happiness, prosperity, and health, and never talking about misfortune, illness, poverty, and so forth, no matter what. Word is alive. Word is energy. Word has the power to create. Everything is determined by word.

It's not too late. Promptly stop needless worrying. Instead of using all your energy for yourself, you need to turn your eyes more toward the love of mankind. Then you will no longer trouble yourself about foolish matters.

The secret key to health: Don't think about illness in your mind; don't talk about illness with your mouth; don't listen to illness through your ears; and don't see illness with your eyes.

The most serious cause of illness that we may face as we proceed to the twenty-first century is increasing human isolation.

Prayer is for cleansing the soul and for removing the illness from the inner state of being.

To those of you who are depressed, I would like to say: How did you fall into depression? Why are you still in that condition? You yourself know the answer. Right. Because you can think of nothing but yourself, and you direct all the energy you have toward yourself.
