Spirituality brings a class of men who lay exclusive claim to the special powers of the world. The immediate effect of this is a reaction towards materialism, which opens the door to scores of exclusive claims, until the time comes when not only all the spiritual powers of the race, but all its material powers and privileges are centred in the hands of a very few; and these few, standing on the necks of the masses of the people, want to rule them. Then society has to help itself, and materialism comes to the rescue.

There is no end to the power a man can obtain.

You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.

Watch people do their most common actions; these are indeed the things that will tell you the real character of a great person.

A monk is not forbidden to marry, but if he takes a wife she becomes a monk with the same powers and privileges and occupies the same social position as her husband.

The progress and civilisation of the human race simply mean controlling this nature.
