The weak, the fearful, the ignorant will never reach the Atman. You cannot undo what you have done; the effect must come. Face it, but be careful never to do the same thing again. Give up the burden of all deeds to God. Give all, both good and bad. God helps those who do not help themselves.

The Absolute is the material of both God and man.

Each soul is potentially divine.

Man cannot always think of matter, however pleasurable it may be.

This external worship of images has, however, been described in all our Shastras as the lowest of all the low forms of worship. But that does not mean that it is a wrong thing to do.

Are great things ever done smoothly? Time, patience, and indomitable will must show.

If there's a God, we must see him and if there's a soul we must perceive it. Otherwise, it's better not to believe.
