Silence is most powerful. Speech is always less powerful than silence.

When your real, effortless, joyful grateful nature is realized, it will not be inconsistent with the ordinary activities of life.

It will come all right in the end. There is the steady impulse of your determination that sets you on your feet again after every downfall and breakdown. Gradually the obstacles are all overcome and your current becomes stronger. Everything comes right in the end. Steady determination is what is required.

Know that the eradication of the identification with the body is charity, spiritual austerity and ritual sacrifice; it is virtue, divine union and devotion; it is heaven, wealth, peace and truth; it is grace; it is the state of divine silence; it is the deathless death; it is jnana, renunciation, final liberation and bliss.

Call it by any name, God, Self, the Heart, or the Seat of Consciousness, it is all the same.
