“What is needed is sincerity, the agreement of the entire being with the will to progress.”

“The earth is being prepared for a complete transformation, and the chosen instrument of this transformation is the human being.”

“Man is a transitional being. He is not final.”

“The step from man to superman is the next approaching achievement in the earth's evolution.”

“There is one fundamental requirement: a quietude in the inner being and a confident reliance on the Divine.”

“All can be done if the god-touch is there.”

“A heart that has felt the clasp of love can never again forget its sweetness.”

“Always behind the thought and emotion of life, hidden, lies the still and peaceful Brahman.”

“Patience and confidence in the Divine are necessary; their absence creates many obstacles.”

“Walk like the wind that blows; pass through life with the equal foot of the soul.”

“The greatest victories are the least talked of.”

“When thou art able to see how necessary is suffering to final delight, hatred and persecution to thy perfect love, then thou knowest something of the divine plan.”

“If we know not the world, it is because we are too full of ourselves.”

“True freedom of action comes when one is free of the bondage of the lower nature.”

“Life is a battlefield. The forces of darkness and the forces of light contend within us. We must aspire and call the Light.”

“Faith is the soul's witness to something not yet manifest, achieved or known, but which yet the Knower within us, even in our most ignorant parts, knows to be true.”

“It is the Divine that does the work; you have only to be the willing instrument.”

“Never has even the inferior nature been able to escape suffering, even when it was satisfying its desires.”

“Quietness without is the body of inner peace.”
