Death is the tax the soul has to pay for having a name and a form.

To be resigned means to find satisfaction in self-denial (Self-denial is the denial of one's lower self).

Repose is the secret of all contemplation and meditation, the secret of getting in tune with that aspect of life which is the essence of all things. When one is not accustomed to take repose, one does not know what is behind one's being.

The whole of life is as music and in order to study life we must study it as music. It is not only study, it is also practice which makes man perfect. If someone tells me that a certain person is miserable or wretched or distressed, my answer will be that he is out of tune.

The greatest fault of the day is the absence of stillness.

The secret of life is balance, and the absence of balance is life's destruction.

There is nothing better than music as a means for upliftment of the soul.
