Blows are what awaken us & help to break the dream. They show us the insufficiency of this world & make us long to escape, to have freedom.

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

The weak have no place here, in this life or any other life. Weakness leads to slavery. Weakness leads to all kinds of misery, physical and mental. Weakness is death.

The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.

I am inclined to believe that one who is a coward will be born after death as an insect or a worm, that there is no salvation for a coward even after millions of years of penance.

As body, mind, or soul, you are a dream; you really are Being, Consciousness, Bliss (satchidananda). You are the God of this universe.

Only when a man sees this universe as God does the veil fall from his eyes; then that man, purified and cleansed, finds his whole vision changed.
