We must be bright and cheerful. Long faces do not make religion. Religion should be the most joyful thing in the world, because it is the best.

Only when a man sees this universe as God does the veil fall from his eyes; then that man, purified and cleansed, finds his whole vision changed.

For one thing we may be grateful: this life is not eternal.

If you want to have life, you have to die every moment for it. Life and death are only different expressions of the same thing looked at from different standpoints; they are the falling and the rising of the same wave, and the two form one whole.

What power is higher than the power of purity?

The whole life is a succession of dreams. My ambition is to be a conscious dreamer, that is all.

And what causes fear? Ignorance of our own nature.
