Realize the tremendous spiritual power and beauty of the life of Christ, and try to live as he lived. Christ had no nationality. He loved all races as the children of God. Try to feel that brotherhood with all nationalities. Real brotherhood can never come unless we feel it in our hearts. Such feeling can be attained only through the actual contact of God in our hearts.

God-realization is attained only by great effort on the part of the yogi and by divine grace.

Faithfulness in the performance of small duties gives us strength to adhere to difficult determinations that life will someday force us to make.

Freedom means the power to act by soul guidance, not by the compulsions of desires and habits. Obeying the ego leads to bondage; obeying the soul brings liberation.

The greatest dread of ordinary man is death, with its rude imposition interrupting fortuitous plans and fondest attachments with an unknown and unwelcome change. The yogi is a conqueror of the grief associated with death. By control of mind and life force and the development of wisdom, he makes friends with the change of consciousness called death-he becomes familiar with the state of inner calmness and aloofness from identification with the mortal body.

Keep puffing on the bubble until it breaks its confining walls and becomes the sea of joy.

The seeker of God is the real lover of vidya, unchangeable truth; all else is avidya, relative knowledge.
