Live within; be not shaken by outward happenings.

An aimless life is always a troubled life. Every individual should have an aim. But do not forget that the quality of your aim will depend the quality of your life. Your aim should be high and wide, generous and disinterested; this will make your life precious to yourself and to others. Whatever your ideal, it cannot be perfectly realized unless you have realized perfection in yourself.

To be free from all egoistic motive, careful of truth in speech and action, void of self-will and self-assertion, watchful in all things, is the condition for being a flawless servant.

There is nothing mind can do that cannot be better done in the mind's immobility and thought-free stillness. When mind is still, then truth gets her chance to be heard in the purity of the silence.

There is no greater pride and glory than to be a perfect instrument of the Master.

The mind of an ordinary man is truly near the heart.

There is the physical mind which is mechanical but the awareness which is the essential character (dharma) of the mind is also to some extent present there.
