• The soul is by its nature pure and perfect, infinite in
power and blessed.
• Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. • He who has realised the Atman becomes the storehouse of great power. • Know the Atman alone and give up all other vain words. • PROCLAIM THE GLORY OF THE ATMAN WITH THE ROAR OF A LION, and impart fearlessness unto all beings by saying “Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached”. • Believe that the soul is immortal, infinite, and all- powerful. • The soul has no sex; why should it degrade itself with sex ideas? • These are states, and states must ever change; but the nature of the soul is bliss, peace, unchanging. We have not to get it, we have it; only wash away the dross and see it. • All knowledge is in the soul. • Always talk and hear and reason about this Atman. • Attma (is) the aim of all. • Freedom is inseparable from the nature of the Atman. This is ever pure, ever perfect, ever unchangeable. This Atman you can never know. We can say nothing about the Atman but ‘not this, not this’. • There is no knowledge in nature; all knowledge comes from the human soul. • There is no distinction of sex in the soul. • Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is any sin, this is the only sin----------------------to say that you are weak, or others are weak. • Purest soul dispels ignorance, fear and weakness. • Everything in the universe is struggling to complete a circle, to return to its source, to return to its only real source, Atman. The search for happiness is a struggle to find the balance, to restore the equilibrium. Morality is the struggle of the bound will to get free and is the proof that we have come from perfection. • The goal of each soul is freedom, mastery- freedom from the slavery of matter and thought, mastery of external and internal nature. • Speak of this Atman to all. • Look not for the truth in any religion; IT IS HERE IN THE HUMAN SOUL, THE MIRACLE OF ALL MIRACLES-------------------------- IN THE HUMAN SOUL, THE EMPORIUM OF ALL KNOWLEDGE, THE MINE OF ALL EXISTENCE------------------------ seek here. • Mind you, the great benefit in this life is struggle. It is through that we pass. If there is any road to Heaven, it is through Hell. Through Hell to Heaven is always the way. When the soul has wrestled with circumstance and has met death, a thousand times death on the way, but nothing daunted, has struggled forward again and again and yet again-------------then the soul comes out as a giant and laughs at the ideal he has been struggling for, because he finds how much greater is he that the ideal. • ALL powers and ALL purity and ALL greatness----------------- EVERY THING IS IN THE SOUL. • Even this world, this body and mind are superstitions; WHAT INFINITE SOULS YOU ARE! And to be tricked by twinkling stars! It is a shameful condition. YOU ARE DIVINITIES; the twinkling stars owe their existence to you. • ONLY THE FOOLS RUSH AFTER SENSE-ENJOYMENTS. It is easy to live in the senses. It is easier to run in the old groove, eating and drinking; but what these modern philosophers want to tell you is to take these comfortable ideas and put the stamp of religion on them. Such a doctrine is dangerous. DEATH LIES IN THE SENSES. LIFE ON THE PLANE OF THE SPIRIT IS THE ONLY LIFE, LIFE ON ANY OTHER PLANE IS MERE DEATH; THE WHOLE OF THIS LIFE CAN BE ONLY DESCRIBED AS A GYMNASIUM. WE MUST GO BEYOND IT TO ENJOY REAL LIFE. • ALL KNOWLEDGE IS WITHIN US. ALL PERFECTION IS THERE ALREADY IN THE SOUL. • The spirit will triumph in the long run. • The spirit is reflected in mind and in everything. • Happiness is only found in the Spirit. • Spirit speaks unto spirit in silence, and yet in most unmistakable language. • To quicken the spirit, the impulse must come from another soul. • Let us worship the spirit in spirit, standing on spirit. Let the foundation be spirit, the middle spirit, the culmination spirit. • Man should hunger for one thing alone, the spirit, because spirit alone exists. • If your ideal is matter, matter shalt thou be. Behold! Our ideal is the spirit. That alone exists. Nothing else exists, and like Him we live for ever. • Stand upon the Self, then only can we truly love the world. Take a very, very high stand; knowing our universal nature, we must look with perfect calmness upon all the panorama of the world. It is but baby’s play, and we know that, so cannot be disturbed by it. If the mind is pleased with praise, it will be displeased with blame. All pleasures of the senses or even of the mind are evanescent, but within ourselves is the one true unrelated pleasure, dependent upon nothing. It is perfectly free, it is bliss. The more our bliss is within, the more spiritual we are. The pleasure of the Self is what the world calls religion. • Love all things only through and for the Self. • Do not injure another. Love everyone as your own self, because the whole universe is one. In injuring another, I am injuring my self; in loving another, I am loving myself. • Be one with the universe, be one with Him. • “Not I, but thou”----------say it, feel it, live it. • See God in everything and everywhere. • The seeing of many is the greatest sin of all the world. See all as Self and love all; let all idea of separateness go. • The god in you is the god in all. If you have not known this, you have known nothing. How can there be difference? It is all one. Every being is the temple of the most high; if you can see that, good, if not, spirituality has yet to come to you. • If we enjoy everything in the Self, and as the Self, no misery or reaction will come. • Seeing difference is the cause of all misery, and ignorance is the cause of seeing difference. • Happiness belongs to him who knows this oneness, who knows he is one with this universe. • Come out into the universe of light. Everything in the universe is yours, stretch out your arms and embrace it with love. • Love is simply an expression of this infinite unity. • Love binds, love makes for that oneness. • You are one with the universe. • We must not look down with contempt on others. All of us are going towards the same goal. The difference between the weakness and strength is one of degree; the difference between virtue and vice is one of degree; the difference between heaven and hell is one of degree; the difference between life and death is one of degree; all difference in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything. • Good and evil are our slaves, not we theirs. Children finding glass beads in a mud puddle, that is the good of the world. Look at it with calm complacency; see good and evil as the same, both are merely ‘God’s play’; enjoy all. • There is but one basis of well-being, social, political or spiritual----------to know that I and my brother are one. This is true for all countries and all people. • All the differentiation in substance is made by name and form. • You and I are one. • Love makes no distinction between man and man. • The highest expression of love is unification. • Love binds, love makes for that oneness. • Stand up, men and women, in the spirit, dare to believe in the Truth, dare to practise the Truth! The world requires a few hundred bold men and women. Practise that boldness which dares know the truth, which dares show the truth in life, which does not quake before death, nay, welcomes death, makes a man know that he is the spirit, that in the whole universe, nothing can kill him. Then you will be free. • The Vedas say the whole world is a mixture of independence and dependence, of freedom and slavery, but through it all shines the soul independent, immortal, pure, perfect, holy. • Power will come, glory will come, goodness will come, purity will come, and everything that is excellent will come when this sleeping soul is roused to self-conscious activity. • To quicken the spirit, the impulse must come from another soul. •
