The first principle of true teaching is that nothing can be taught.

To have a developed intellect is always helpful if one can enlighten it from above and turn it to a divine use.

With which part do you watch? Surely with the mind? That won't do. It is the silent Purusha within who must watch all.

It will not do to depend on the mind alone.

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.

There should of course be left a field of work for the sake of experiment but at all times one must remember that there will always remain open a possibility of err.

Detachment is the beginning of mastery.
