Our spirit is the real part of us, the body but its garment. A man would not find peace at the tailor's because his coat comes from there; neither can the spirit obtain true happiness from the earth just because his body belongs to earth.

A soul who is not close to nature is far away from what is called spirituality. In order to be spiritual one must communicate, and especially one must communicate with nature; one must feel nature.

It is not solid wood that can become a flute, but the empty reed.

When we pay attention to nature's music, we find that everything on the Earth contributes to its harmony.

Self-pity is the worst poverty. When a person says, 'I am...' with pity, before he has said anything more he has diminished himself to half of what he is; and what is said further, diminishes him totally; nothing more of him is left afterwards.

The person who is in tune with the Universe becomes like a radio receiver, through which the voice of the Universe is transmitted.

The soul is covered by a thousand veils.
