When every situation which life can offer is turned to the profit of spiritual growth, no situation can really be a bad one.

Every morning is like a new reincarnation into this world. Let us take it then for what it is and live each moment anew.

Peace is a costly privilege-to be fought for, attained and won. It comes only from a conquered mind.

Accept the long night patiently, quietly, humbly, and resignedly as intended for your true good. It is not a punishment for sin committed but an instrument of annihilating egoism.

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.

Whoever wants the "I" to yield up its mysterious and tremendous secret must stop it from looking perpetually in the mirror, must stop the little ego's fascination with its own image.

Every test successfully met is rewarded by some growth in intuitive knowledge, strengthening of character, or initiation into a higher consciousness.
