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.

It is only by doing good to others that one attains to one's own good

He who asserts he is free, shall be free. He who says he is bound, bound he shall remain.

This is the first lesson to learn: be determined not to curse anything outside, not to lay the blame upon anyone outside, but stand up, lay the blame on yourself. You will find that is always true. Get hold of yourself.

To be unselfish, perfectly selfless, is salvation itself; for the man within dies, and God alone remains.

Let him who has courage in his mind and love in his heart come with me. I want none else.

Forget not that thy marriage, thy wealth, thy life are not for sense-pleasure, are not for thy individual personal happiness.
