You can think of individuals as differ­ent light bulbs. There will be a differences in wattage and in color. There will be differences in shape, but everywhere the current is the same. That current is who you are. You are not the individual bulb. You are the one current in all.

If you incline towards God the passions that enslaves you will be rendered powerless.

God does not live in structures of stone or brick. He lives in soft hearts warm with sympathy and fragrant with universal love.

Too much of this book knowledge just leads to doubts and confusion. You get too many doubts asking 'what is this?' and 'what is that?', and you waste a lot of time in this conflict.

First comes Self-confi­dence, that is the foundation. Then comes Self-satis­faction, it is like the wall. Next comes self-sacrifice, it is like the roof. Finally the house is complete and the Indweller is installed inside; that is Self-realiza­tion. It starts with Self-confidence and it ends with realizing the Self.

Without Self-confidence there cannot be God. So, first there must be Self-confidence and love of God.

Real happiness lies within you.
