Do not belong to the past dawns,but to the noons of future

That which we call the Hindu religion is really the Eternal religion because it embraces all others.

Death is but changing of our robes to wait in wedding garments at the Eternal's gate.

To hope for a true change of human life without a change of human nature is an irrational and unspiritual proposition.

Not in the state of unconsciousness, but in full awareness when the higher Power will descend into and direct us, then only the yogic life will begin.

The yoga we practice is not for ourselves alone, but for the Divine; its aim is to work out the will of the Divine in the world, to effect a spiritual transformation and to bring down a divine nature and a divine life into the mental, vital and physical nature and life of humanity. Its object is not personal Mukti, although Mukti is a necessary condition of the yoga, but the liberation and transformation of the human being. It is not personal Ananda, but the bringing down of the divine Ananda - Christ's kingdom of heaven, our Satyayuga - upon the earth.

The expression "from above" is for us only a way of speaking. Many receive from above the command for action - we call it intuition.
