Pope John smiled without; Pope Paul smiles within. Pope John’s smile ran like a deer: forward. Pope Paul’s smile flies like a bird: upward. Pope John’s smile was contagious. Pope Paul’s smile is precious. Pope John said the heart is beautiful. Pope Paul says the mind is beautiful, too. Pope John said, “Expand yourself. You will automatically realise the Truth.” Pope Paul says, “Realise the Truth first; expansion will automatically follow your realisation.” Pope John cried more for the material poverty of the poor. Pope Paul cries equally for the material poverty of the poor and the spiritual poverty of the rich. He gives equal importance to the poor man’s material poverty and the rich man’s spiritual poverty. He feels that both diseases are equally fatal and they must be cured sooner than at once.
