Whenever encountering a troublesome person, do not identify him as being cruel or stupid or rude or anything else like that. Instead, see him as a frightened person.

You must never fear anything at all.

Self-knowledge is the great power by which we comprehend and control our lives

Self awakening enables you to see the human scene as it is, not as it appears to be, which frees you of its chaos.

Do not mistake desire for love. Desire leaves home in a frantic search for one gratification after another. Love is at home with itself.

You can end half your troubles immediately by no longer permitting people to tell you what you want.

Be very careful that you do not unconsciously assume that nervous tension is power. This is vital. Watch yourself the next time you work toward some goal. Look very closely to discover tense feelings and nervous thoughts whirling around inside. Do not let them deceive you into assuming that they are creative forces; they are not. They are thieves of genuine powers. As always, your awareness of their thievery is your first fine step toward casting them out.
