What do you gain in heaven? You become gods, drink nectar, and get rheumatism. There is less misery there than on earth, but also less truth.

Egotism, pride, etc. must be given up.

All action of Sattva, a modification of Prakriti characterised by light and happiness, is for the soul. When Sattva is free from egoism and illuminated with the pure intelligence of Purusha, it is called the self-centred one, because in that state it becomes independent of all relations.

When a man is perfect, he sees perfection in others. When he sees imperfection, it is his own mind projecting itself.

Philosophy insists that there is a joy which is absolute, which never changes.

Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness, and fear is wrong life. All the negative thoughts and ideas that are in the world have proceeded from this evil spirit of fear.

Real freedom is not merely doing what you like, but also NOT doing what you like.
