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

What you call the psychic being is the mind of the vital. The heart is the seat of this mind. And this mind is the essence of the senses. It receives things from outside, acts upon things that are outside - knows, gives consent, takes interest in them. But this mind cannot be the Ishwara, but it is the knower, the giver of the consent.

The fly that touches honey cannot use it's wings; so too the soul that clings to spiritual sweetness ruins it's freedom and hinders contemplation.

All existence is a manifestation of God.

The Force which has to be called down from above must be pure and quiet because there are all kinds of forces - it will not do to call them all. And one must have sincerity.

There are all kinds of people, and in the attempt to build up a solidarity among them, defects of each one affect all the others.

All thoughts, desires, conventions, attachments which come from outside must be ruthlessly pushed away.
