The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear.

When you do not name a group of people, you are compelled to look at each individual face and not treat them all as the mass.

There you have the two extremes: the man that is concerned mainly with the hidden life, and the man who seriously concerns himself with the expression of that life. What I want to do is to bring about harmony between the two extremes, for therein lies the Truth. The harmony of life is the understanding of Truth.

Ugliness and evil are necessary for growth but they may be experienced vicariously.

It is necessary for all of us to awaken in ourselves this spirit of cooperation, for then it will not be a mere plan or agreement which causes us to work together, but an extraordinary feeling of togetherness, the sense of joy in being and doing together without any thought of reward or punishment.

Most of us waste our energy through chattering - endlessly chattering, gossiping, criticising, backbiting.
