Never be petty. Do not feed resentments against anyone. I prefer good-hearted sinners to so called good people who are intolerant and devoid of compassion. Being spiritual is to have an open mind, understand and forgive, and be friends with everyone.

I don't want people to think that they can attain realization simply by listening to others or by reading books. They must practice what they read and hear.

In your heart must well that sympathy which soothes away all pains from the hearts of others.

Death is not a blotting-out of existence, a final escape from life; nor is death the door to immortality. He who has fled his Self in earthly joys will not recapture It amidst the gossamer charms of an astral world. There he merely accumulates finer perceptions and more sensitive responses to the beautiful and the good, which are one. It is on the anvil of this gross earth that struggling man must hammer out the imperishable gold of spiritual identity.

If circumstances are bad and you have to bear them, do not make them a part of yourself.

If you open the door to the magnetic power of friendship, souls of like vibrations will be attracted to you.

When you learn to get along with yourself, you will know how to get along with everybody.
