The small wisdom is like water in a glass: clear, transparent, pure. The great wisdom is like the water in the sea: dark, mysterious, impenetrable.

When our universe is in harmony with man, the eternal, we know it as truth, we feel it as beauty.

To the guests that must go, bid God's speed and brush away all traces of their steps.

One who has never known the turbulence of life, in whom the petals of the mysterious flower within have never opened; such a one may seem happy, may seem a saint, his single track mind may impress the multitude with its power - but he is ill equipped for life's true adventure into the infinite.

Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain but for the heart to conquer it.

I am restless. I am athirst for faraway things. My soul goes out in a longing to touch the skirt of the dim distance. O Great Beyond, O the keen call of thy flute! I forget, I ever forget, that I have no wings to fly, that I am bound in this spot evermore.

The heart wants to go on; that is its dharma. For unless it moves, it dies.
