It is by overcoming obstacles that man develops those qualities he needs.

To remember oneself means the same thing as to be aware of oneself - I am. It is not a function, not thinking, not feeling; it is a different state of consciousness.

There is something in us that keeps us where we find ourselves. I think this is the most awful thing of all.

I have become so accustomed to think "scientifically" that I am afraid even to imagine that there may be something else beyond the outer covering of life. I feel like a man condemned to death, whose companions have been hanged and who has already become reconciled to the thought that the same fate awaits him.

Ideas by themselves cannot produce change of being; your effort must go in the right direction, and one must correspond to the other.

One cannot keep all old views and opinions and acquire new ones.

Seek the Path, do not seek attainment, Seek for the Path within yourself. Do not expect to hear the truth from others, nor to see it, or read it in books. Look for the truth in yourself, not without yourself.
