The power of meditation gets us everything. If you want to get power over nature, [you can have it through meditation].

I am thoroughly convinced that no individual or nation can live by holding itself apart from the community of others. Give and take is the law; and if India wants to raise herself once more, it is absolutely necessary that she brings out her treasures and throws them broadcast among the nations of the earth, and in return be ready to receive what others have to give her.

We commenced to die the day we began to hate other races; and nothing can prevent our death unless we come back to expansion, which is life.

Anything that is secret and mysterious in this system of Yoga should be at once rejected. The best guide in life is strength.

The body is subject to the law of growth and decay, what grows must of necessity decay.
