To listen to some devout people, one would imagine that God never laughs.

For all problems of existence are essentially problems of harmony.

When mind is still, then truth gets her chance to be heard in the purity of the silence.

And, in order to possess the Truth, the plays of the lower nature must be stopped.

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

There is a veil between the Supermind above and the lower Prakriti below - the veil of ingrained formations. This veil may completely withdraw or be partially withdrawn. Thus even if there is some little opening, with the contact of Light from above the lower nature will get slowly changed.

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.
