Everything is fraught with fear: Renunciation alone is fearless.

The happiest moments we ever know are when we entirely forget ourselves.

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.

I have seen some astrologers who predicted wonderful things; but I have no reason to believe they predicted them only from the stars, or anything of the sort. In many cases it is simply mind-reading. Sometimes wonderful predictions are made, but in many cases it is arrant trash.

Neither idealists nor materialists are right; we must take both idea and expression.

The Yogi must always practice.

The test of progress is the amount of renunciation that one has attained.
