Safety lies in tending towards our highest and not in resting content with an inferior potentiality..... To rest in or follow after an inferior potentiality may seem safe, rational, comfortable, easy, but it ends badly, in some futility or in a mere circling down the abyss or in a stagnant morass. Our right and natural road is towards the summits.

True knowledge is not attained by thinking. It is what you are; it is what you become.

Sit in meditation ! But do not think ! Look only at your mind ! You will see thoughts coming into it ! Before they can enter, throw these away from your mind till your mind is capable of entire silence.

In the middle of an ocean on board a ship, one can get a sense of vastness.

The supreme end is the freedom of the spirit.

What men call knowledge, is the reasoned acceptance of false appearances. Wisdom looks behind the veil and sees.

Can everybody contact the higher forces? No, not indeed; but they submit themselves to a discipline and this brings them success.
