Music is the highest art and to those who understand, is the highest worship

In this world we find that all happiness is followed by misery as its shadow. Life has its shadow, death. They must go together, because they are not contradictory, not two separate existences, but different manifestations of the same unit, life and death, sorrow and happiness, good and evil.

The way to God is the opposite to that of the world. And to few, very few, are given to have God and mammon at the same time.

As the cause is, so the effect will be.

Highest love for God can never be achieved without renunciation.

This is the secret of spiritual life: to think that I am the Atman and not the body, and that the whole of this universe with all its relations, with all its good and all its evil, is but as a series of paintings...scenes on a canvas...of which I am the witness.

Change is inherent in every form.
