In one sense Brahman is known to every human being; he knows, "I am"; but man does not know himself as he is.

Stamping down the weakness of mind and heart, stand up, saying, "I am possessed of heroism, I am possessed of a steady intellect..." Never allow weakness to overtake your mind.

This is the great lesson that we are here to learn through myriads of births and heavens and hells - that there is nothing to be asked for, desired for, beyond one's spiritual Self (atman).

Impurity is a mere superimposition under which your real nature has become hidden. But the real you is already perfect, already strong.

This perfection must come through the practice of holiness and love.

Even the least work done for others awakens the power within; even thinking the least good of others gradually instills into the heart the strength of a lion.

Stand in that reverent attitude to the whole universe, and then will come perfect non attachment.
