The Absolute can never be thought of.

You must be fearless. It is the coward who fears and defends himself

According to the history of human progress, it is disobedience to nature that has constituted that progress.

Without birth or death, eternal, ever-existing, free, unchangeable and beyond all conditions is this Soul of man - the real Self of Man - the Atman.

A man must not only have faith but intellectual faith too. To make a man take up everything and believe it, would be to make him a lunatic.

None of us have yet seen an ideally perfect man, and yet without that ideal we cannot progress.

Patanjali, declares that the true secret of evolution is the manifestation of the perfection which is already in every being; that this perfection has been barred and the infinite tide behind is struggling to express itself. These struggles and competitions are but the results of our ignorance, because we do not know the proper way to unlock the gate and let the water in. This infinite tide behind must express itself; it is the cause of all manifestation.
