The mind generally takes up various objects, runs into all sorts of things. That is the lower state. There is a higher state of the mind, when it takes up one object and excludes all others.

Thinking of objects, attachment to them is formed in a man. From attachment longing, and from longing anger grows.

Let the end and the means be joined into one.

The man who becomes angry never does a great amount of work, and the man whom nothing can make angry accomplishes so much.

The more you think of yourself as shining immortal spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free of matter, body, and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.

The Absolute cannot be worshipped, so we must worship a manifestation.

The happiest is the man who is not at all selfish.
