God made us angels of energy, encased in solids - currents of life dazzling through a material bulb of flesh.

Seclusion is the price of greatness.

Mankind is engaged in an eternal quest for that ‘something else' he hopes will bring him happiness, complete and unending. For those individual souls who have sought and found God, the search is over: He is that Something Else.

Death is not a blotting-out of existence, a final escape from life; nor is death the door to immortality. He who has fled his Self in earthly joys will not recapture It amidst the gossamer charms of an astral world. There he merely accumulates finer perceptions and more sensitive responses to the beautiful and the good, which are one. It is on the anvil of this gross earth that struggling man must hammer out the imperishable gold of spiritual identity.

Remember this: When I am gone, only love can take my place. Be absorbed night and day in the love of God, and give that love to all.

Every tomorrow is determined by every today.

Evil spreads with the wind; truth is capable of spreading even against it.

As water by cooling and condensation becomes ice, so thought by condensation assumes physical form. Everything in the universe is thought in material form.

Meet everybody and every circumstance on the battlefield of life with the courage of a hero and the smile of a conqueror.

A wish is a desire without energy.

As a mortal being you are limited, but as a child of God you are unlimited... Focus your attention on God, and you shall have all the power you want, to use in any direction.

Intuition is soul guidance, appearing naturally in man during those instants when his mind is calm.

To commune daily with God in deep meditation, and to carry His love and guidance with you into all your dutiful activities, is the way that leads to permanent peace and happiness.

Be honest with yourself. The world is not honest with you...

Change your life by changing your thoughts.

Truths are more than imagination; they are real. Yet their origin is a thought in the mind of God.

The Spirit of God, I realized, is exhaustless Bliss; His body is countless tissues of light.

Whatever you want others to be, first be that yourself...

No one appears on our stage unless the director has placed them there for our benefit.

Realize the tremendous spiritual power and beauty of the life of Christ, and try to live as he lived. Christ had no nationality. He loved all races as the children of God. Try to feel that brotherhood with all nationalities. Real brotherhood can never come unless we feel it in our hearts. Such feeling can be attained only through the actual contact of God in our hearts.

The rains of Life's Blessings cannot gather on mountaintops of pride, but flow easily into valleys of humbleness.

Just as oil is present in every part of the olive, so love permeates every part of creation.

God-realization is the most difficult state to reach. Let no one fool himself, nor think that someone else can "give" it to him. Whenever I fell into a state of mental stagnation, my Master could do nothing for me. But I never gave up trying to keep in tune with him by cheerfully performing whatever he asked me to do. "I have come to him for God-realization," I reasoned, "and I must listen to his advice."
