My only concern is to set men absolutely, unconditionally free.

The fundamental factor of self-deception is this constant desire to be something in this world and in the world hereafter.

Fear is what prevents the flowering of the mind.

To transform the world, we must begin with ourselves; and what is important in beginning with ourselves is the intention. The intention must be to understand ourselves and not to leave it to others to transform themselves or to bring about a modified change through revolution, either of the left or of the right. It is important to understand that this is our responsibility, yours and mine.

I admire and respect the tenacity, courage, and patience of the unenlightened in the face of so much overwhelming evidence

You may wish that some parts of (your face) were different, but the actual fact is shown in the mirror. Now, can you look at your conditioning in a similar way?

The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is. Self-knowledge has no end - you don't come to an achievement, you don't come to a conclusion. It is an endless river.
