Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.

The spirit of rejection finds its support in the consciousness of separateness; the spirit of acceptance finds its base in the consciousness of unity.

The roots below the earth claim no rewards for making the branches fruitful.

Life itself is a strange mixture. We have to take it as it is, try to understand it, and then to better it.

Music is the purest form of art, and therefore the most direct expression of beauty, with a form and spirit which is one and simple, and least encumbered with anything extraneous. We seem to feel that the manifestation of the infinite in the finite forms of creation is music itself, silent and visible.

The cure for all the illness of life is stored in the inner depth of life itself, the access to which becomes possible when we are alone. This solitude is a world in itself, full of wonders and resources unthought of. It is absurdly near; yet so unapproachably distant.

We are hidden in ourselves, like a truth hidden in isolated facts. When we know that this One in us is One in all, then our truth is revealed.

The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.

One who has never known the turbulence of life, in whom the petals of the mysterious flower within have never opened; such a one may seem happy, may seem a saint, his single track mind may impress the multitude with its power - but he is ill equipped for life's true adventure into the infinite.

I am hidden in your heart, O Flower.

Wrong is wrong only when you are at liberty to choose.

Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.

All that is not given is lost.

Dark clouds become heaven's flowers when kissed by light.

The biggest changes in a woman's nature are brought by love; in man, by ambition.

While God waits for His temple to be built of love, men bring stones.

Love is an endless mystery, because there is no reasonable cause that could explain it.

Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.

Discipline divorced from wisdom is not true discipline, but merely the meaningless following of custom, which is only a disguise for stupidity.

Those who are near me do not know that you are nearer to me than they are. Those who speak to me do not know that my heart is full with your unspoken words. Those who crowd in my path do not know that I am walking alone with you. Those who love me do not know that their love brings you to my heart.

We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us.

I never give answers. I lead on from one question to another. That is my leadership.

The real friendship is like fluorescence, it shines better when everything has darken.
