Do not turn your ears into a storehouse of rumours. Intrigue is a viper that will lodge in your soul.
Do not transform your eyes into lenses of vivification. The images that you corrupt will remain corrupted on the screen of your mind.
Do not turn your hand into spears in order to fight without profit. Use them in the field of goodness.
Do not underrate your creative faculties, by focusing them on easy pleasures. You will answer for what you did with them.
Do not condemn your imagination to permanent excitation. Your inferior creations will torment your inner world.
Do not lead your feelings towards a lust for suffering. Teach them to delight in the enjoyment of service.
Do not search for the pathway to paradise while directing others towards the road to hell. The way to heaven will be built inside yourself.
Excerpted from the Chapter 41 of "Christian Agenda" - Chico Xavier (by the Spirit André Luiz)
