The purpose of having the title 'World-Teacher' is to acknowledge, to show, the condition of mind and heart when you have achieved. It is like saying: 'I have painted a picture'. It is like saying: 'I have written a poem'. It is an assertion of the fact of attainment, rather than the narrow understanding that is given to labels and phrases. What the phrase indicates is of importance.

Freedom lies beyond the field of consciousness.

The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.

It is love alone that leads to right action. What brings order in the world is to love and let love do what it will.

You can only hear clearly when you sit quietly, when you give your attention. Nor can you have order if you are not free to watch, if you are not free to listen, if you are not free to be considerate. This problem of freedom and order is one of the most difficult and urgent problems in life. It is a very complex problem. It needs to be thought over much more than mathematics, geography, or history.

Sentimentality and emotionalism have nothing whatsoever to do with love.

Compassion being action without motive, without self-interest, without any sense of fear, without any sense of pleasure.
