Since everything is a reflection of our minds, everything can be changed by our minds.

When one sees that everything exists as an illusion, one can live in a higher sphere than ordinary man.

Be a lamp to yourself. Be your own confidence. Hold on to the truth within yourself as to the only truth.

Maintain a state of balance between physical acts and inner serenity,like a lute whose strings are finely tuned.

Look not to the faults of others, nor to their omissions and commissions. But rather look to your own acts, to what you have done and left undone.

Beware of the anger of the mouth. Master your words. Let them serve truth.

One is not low because of birth nor does birth make one holy. Deeds alone make one low, deeds alone make one holy.
