Stay! Why runn'st thou here and there? Thou seekest God in vain seekest thou Him elsewhere. | \n123 (IV. 183)\n ALL THAT THOU WILT IS WITHIN THEE\n| All thou wouldst have lies now within thee, every whit 'Tis thine\u2014so long as thou dost never strive for it. | \n124 (III. 118)\n THE PHILOSOPHERS' STONE\n| Travel within thyself! The Stone Philosophers with wisest arts Have vainly sought, cannot be found By travelling in foreign parts. | \n125 (I. 50)\n THE THRONE OF GOD\n| Christian, dost thou demand to know Where God hath set His Throne? Even there within thyself, where He Gives birth to thee, His Son. | \n126 (I. 61)\n GOD MUST BE BORN IN THEE\n| Though Jesus Christ in Bethlehem A thousand times his Mother bore, Is he not born again in thee Then art thou lost for evermore. | \n127 (I. 62)\n THE EXTERNAL HELPETH THEE NOT\n| In vain the Cross on Golgotha Was raised\u2014thou hast not any part In its deliverance unless It be raised up within thy heart. | \n128 (VI. 209)\n WHAT IS OUTWARD ADDETH NO WORTH\n| Nothing external to thee, Man, Can give thee Worth or Dignity: Fine harness maketh not the horse, Nor clothes the man's virility. | \n129 (VI. 24)\n WHAT A MAN HATH IN HIMSELF HE SEEKETH NOT WITHOUT\n| He who hath honour in himself Seeketh no honour among men. Seekest thou honour in the world, 'Tis not thine own but alien. | \n130 (VI. 169)\n WHAT A MAN WOULD NOT LOSE, THAT MUST HE BE\n| The Wise Man is that which he hath. The precious Pearl of Paradise Wouldst thou not lose, then must thou be Thyself that Pearl of greatest price. | \n131 (I. 298)\n HEAVEN IS WITHIN US\n| My Christian, whither runnest thou? All Heaven within thy heart doth wait. Why dost thou seek to find it then By knocking at another's gate? | \n132 (II. 149)\n THOU THYSELF ART ALL THINGS\n| How is it possible for thee To feel desire or suffer dearth? Thou canst be all things in thyself\u2014 A thousand Angels, Heaven and Earth! | \n133 (VI. 166)\n HE WHO HATH THE KINGDOM IN HIMSELF CANNOT BECOME POOR\n| God's Kingdom is within ourselvcs! If, then, so great a Kingdom be Already thine, how canst thou fear The threatening of poverty? | \n134 (II. 85)\n THY PRISON IS THYSELF\n| The World doth not imprison thee. Thou art thyselfthe World, and there, Within thyself, thou hold'st thyself Thy self-imprisoned Prisoner. | \n135 (I. 37)\n UNREST COMETH FROM THYSELF\n| Naught is that moveth thee: thou art thyself the wheel That runneth of itself and never standeth still. | \n136 (I. 118)\n SPIRIT REMAINETH EVER FREE\n| Fetter me with a thousand chains, and though they be Never so strong, I shall be fetterless and free. | \n137 (III. 147)\n GOD WOULD BE ALONE\n| Shut God up in thy heart. Let none else enter there, So must He always bide with thee and be thy Prisoner. | \n138 (V. 128)\n IT IS NEVER NIGHT IN THE SOUL\n| I am amazed that thou dost yearn For daylight to appear. There is no sunset in my soul\u2014 Day is already here. |","title":"V INWARDNESS","type":"page"}
