When the soul wants to depend upon nothing, not even upon life, that is the height of philosophy, the height of manhood.

Spirituality as a science, as a study, is the greatest and healthiest exercise that the human mind can have.

Take courage and work on. Patience and steady work- this is the only way.

The less passion there is, the better we work. The calmer we are the better for us and the more the amount of work we can do.

The apparent man is only a limitation of that Real Man.

Freedom can never be true of name and form; it is the clay out of which we (the pots) are made; then it is limited and not free, so that freedom can never be true of the related. One pot can never say "I am free" as a pot; only as it loses all ideas of form does it become free.

There is no end to renunciation.
