Learn to see things as they really are, not as we imagine they are.

The Truth must be told at all costs, no matter how unpopular it may be. The authentic spiritual leader, having freed himself of his own false need to be popular, tells the Truth whether it falls on fertile or stony ground. Such a teacher is the salt of the earth, though few know it. If you think the world is delirious as is, you would find it intolerable without his healing influence.

Truth does not really hurt, rather it is our resistance to its message that causes us pain.

Remember above all that mental stability comes by examining the contents of the mind, not by avoidence.

Run forward when possible, walk ahead when you can, stagger onward when you must, but never cease your forward movement.

When one plan that you have, to get this or to get that, to advance in the world, or whatever it might be, when that seems in danger of veering off the path you have set for it, you have your emergency plan ready. And in simple language what that emergency plan is, what you put into operation, is called worry. If you can worry you are occupied, and what an incredible human situation it is!

It is utterly useless to try to change the outer world, for it is but a reflection of inner causes. The true seeker seeks to change himself.
