The essence of Vedanta is that there is but one Being and that every soul is that Being in full, not a part of that Being.

We never want Him. We say, "Lord, give me a fine house." We want the house, not Him. "Give me health! Save me from this difficulty!" When a man wants nothing but Him, [he gets Him].

It is the Prana that is manifesting as motion.

All want power, but few will wait to gain it for themselves.

The fault with all religions like Christianity is that they have one set of rules for all. But Hindu religion is suited to all grades of religious aspiration and progress. It contains all the ideals in their perfect form. For example, the ideal of Shanta or blessedness is to be found in Vasishtha; that of love in Krishna; that of duty in Rama and Sita; and that of intellect in Shukadeva. Study the characters of these and of other ideal men. Adopt one which suits you best.

The Indian mythology has a theory of cycles, that all progression is in the form of waves.

There is one thing to be remembered: that the assertion 'I am God' cannot be made with regard to the sense-world.
