They are what they always have been, the individual's problems -- the meaning of life and death, the mastery of self, the quest for value and worth-whileness and freedom within, the transcending of loneliness, the longing for love and a sense of significance, and for peace. Society's problems are deep, but the individual's problems go deeper; Solzhenitsyn, Dostoyevsky, or Shakespeare will show us that, if we hesitate to take it from the Bible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Karma-yoga is a supreme secret indeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62520]]></link><description><![CDATA[Karma-yoga is a supreme secret indeed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know you are here to kill me.

Sin for him is not a moral failure; it is not even disobedience. Disobedience is a consequence but not the cause. The cause is: turning away from God, and from God as the highest good, as the love with which God loves Himself, through us. For this reason, since sin has this character -- if you say "sins", it is easily dissolved into moral sins; but sin is first of all basically the power of turning away from God. For this very reason, no moral remedy is possible. Only one remedy is possible: return to God. But this of course is possible only in the power of God, and this power is lost. This is the state of man under the conditions of existence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To see ourselves as others see us can be eye-opening.

Was there really an ordained ministry as early as that? We need not argue about whether, or how, St. Paul was ordained, but he certainly considered that he and his fellow workers had a special pastoral relation to their converts.... St. Paul was primarily a missionary, which in itself establishes a link with the Servant of the Lord. As a missionary, he was not working on his own, but was supported by a group of assistants without whose help he could never have carried on his work. We know the names of many of them... But there were many more whose names we do not know, sometimes referred to as "the brethren" (e.g., in I Cor. 16:11). This missionary group with St. Paul as its leader is the New Testament equivalent of the ordained ministry of today, and it is significant for us that St. Paul describes this group as carrying out in some sense the work of servants in the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first recipe for happiness is: avoid too lengthy meditation on the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64811]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first recipe for happiness is: avoid too lengthy meditation on the past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They gained rhythm and confidence with every turnover.
