If a man, day and night, thinks he is miserable, low and nothing, nothing he becomes. If you say yea, yea, "I am, I am", so shall you be.

All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.

Give up all desire for enjoyment in earth or heaven. Control the organs of the senses and control the mind. Bear every misery without even knowing that you are miserable. Think of nothing but spiritual freedom.

"I do not want to get material life, do not want the sense-life, but something higher." That is renunciation. Then, by the power of meditation, undo the mischief that has been done.

Our best work is done, our greatest influence is exerted, when we are without thought of self.

Perfection is not to be attained, it is already within us.

There is no happiness higher than what a man obtains by this attitude of non-offensiveness, to all creation.
