It's the coward who says, 'This is fate'...It's the strong who stands up & says 'I will make my fate'

Tremendous purity, tremendous renunciation, is the one secret of spirituality. “Neither through wealth, nor through progeny, but through renunciation alone is immortality to be reached,” say the Vedas. “Sell all that thou hast and give to poor, and follow me,” says the Christ. So all great saints and prophets have expressed it, and have carried it out in their lives. How can great spirituality come without renunciation?

I am in every religion as the thread through a string of pearls. Wherever thou seest extraordinary holiness and extraordinary power raising and purifying humanity, know thou that I am there.

We must patiently practice every day.

Everything has a cause.

The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause.

Man is the highest being that exists, and this is the greatest world.
