Appetite has really become an artificial and abnormal thing, having taken the place of true hunger, which alone is natural. The one is a sign of bondage but the other, of freedom.

The ego will always be able to find ways to keep the aspirant busy in self-improvement, thus binding him or her to the fact that the self is still there behind all the improvements. For why should the ego kill itself?

The Quest not only begins in the heart but also ends there.

Every discussion which is made from an egoistic standpoint is corrupted from the start and cannot yield an absolutely sure conclusion. The ego puts its own interest first and twists every argument, word, even fact to suit that interest.

Meditation is THE fundamental practice of the Quest.

God needs no worship, no praise, no thanksgiving. It is man himself who needs the benefit to be derived from these activities.

Study everything, join nothing.
