Concentration of the mind is in a way common to both Knowledge and Yoga. Yoga aims at union of the individual with the universal, the Reality. This Reality cannot be new. It must exist even now, and it does exist.

Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being.

The enemy hates the ego, which the seeker wants to kill; thus, like the anvil to the goldsmith, he is actually a friend.

That alone is Real which exists by itself, which reveals itself by itself and which is eternal and unchanging.

Till you reach the state of jnana and thus wake out of maya you must do social service by relieving suffering whenever you see it. But even then you must do it without ahankara, i.e., without the sense of 'I am the doer', but with the feeling 'I am the Lord's tool'.

Once the current of awareness of the self is set afoot, it becomes everlasting and continuous by intensification.

No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.
