Meditation means the mind is turned back upon itself. The mind stops all the thought-waves and the world stops. Your consciousness expands. Every time you meditate you will keep your growth.

Perfection is one thing and enjoyment another; these two having different ends, engage men differently.

So long as there is desire or want, it is a sure sign that there is imperfection. A perfect, free being cannot have any desire.

In the world take always the position of the giver. Give everything and look for no return. Give love, give help, give service, give any little thing you can, but keep out barter. Make no conditions and none will be imposed on you. Let us give out of our own bounty, just as God gives to us.
