God sees the inner spirit stripped of flesh, skin, and all debris. For his own mind only touches the spirit that he has allowed to flow from himself into our bodies. And if you can act the same way, you will rid yourself of all suffering. For surely if you are not preoccupied with the body that encloses you, you will not trouble yourself about clothes, houses, fame, and other showy trappings.

Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.

Whatever may happen to you was prepared for you from all eternity; and the implication of causes was from eternity spinning the thread of your being.

At day's first light have in readiness, against disinclination to leave your bed, the thought that "I am rising for the work of man."

He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.
