Delight Is The Secret. Learn Of Pure

Vain Indeed Is All Overweening Pride In The Conquest Even Of The Entire Universe If One Has Not Conquered One's Own Passions.

The Aggressive And Quite Illogical Idea Of A Single Religion For All Mankind, A Religion Universal By The Very Force Of Its Narrowness, One Set Of Dogmas, One Cult, One System Of Ceremonies, One Ecclesiastical Ordinance, One Array Of Prohibitions And Injunctions Which All Minds Must Accept On Peril Of Persecution By Men And Spiritual Rejection Or Eternal Punishment By God, That Grotesque Creation Of Human Unreason Which Has Been The Parent Of So Much Intolerance, Cruelty And Obscurantism And Aggressive Fanaticism, Has Never Been Able To Take Firm Hold Of The Indian Mentality.

Suffering Makes Us Capable Of The Full Force Of The Master Of Delight; It Makes Us Capable Also To Bear The Utter Play Of The Master Of Power. Pain Is The Key That Opens The Gates Of Strength; It Is The High-road That Leads To The City Of Beatitude.

This World Is A Vast Unbroken Totality, A Deep Solidarity Joins Its Contrary Powers.

The Only Work That Spiritually Purifies Us Is That Which Is Done Without Personal Motives.
