All fanaticism is false, because it is a contradiction of the very nature of God and of Truth. Truth cannot be shut up in a single book, Bible or Veda or Koran, or in a single religion. The Divine Being is eternal and universal and infinite and cannot be the sole property of the Mussulmans or of the Semitic religions only, - those that happened to be in a line from the Bible and to have Jewish or Arabian prophets for their founders.

The only work that spiritually purifies us is that which is done without personal motives.

The spiritual path is one of falling on your face, getting up, brushing yourself off, turning and looking sheepishly at God and then taking the next step.

[S]tand aside and watch the working of the divine power in yourself.

You have a strong active nature. And this in you is a point of strength. If you can mould it rightly this will become a very great strength. On the other hand, this too is your weak point - a hindrance in sadhana.

Watch the too indignantly righteous. Before long you will find them committing or condoning the very offence which they have so fiercely censured.

This world is a vast unbroken totality, a deep solidarity joins its contrary powers.
