Have faith that you are all, my brave lads, born to do great things! Let not the barks of puppies frighten you, no, not even the thunderbolts of heaven, but stand up and work!

The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause.

The whole universe is composed of name and form. Whatever we see is either a compound of name and form, or simply name with form which is a mental image.

We become forgetful of the ego when we think of the body as dedicated to the service of others - the body with which most complacently we identify the ego.

The world is a demon. It is a kingdom of which the puny ego is king. Put it away and stand firm.

No effect of work can be eternal.

A wave in the ocean is a wave, only in so far as it is bound by name and form.
