Perfect Health, Sincerity, Honesty, Straightforwardness, Courage, Disinterestedness,

A God Who Cannot Smile, Could Not Have Created This Humorous Universe.

There Are Two Powers That Alone Can Effect In Their Conjunction The Great And Dificult Thing Which Is The Aim Of Our Endeavour, A Fixed And Unfailing Aspiration That Calls From Below And A Supreme Grace From Above That Answers.

The Deeper We Look, The More We Shall Be Convinced That The One Thing Wanting, Which We Must Strive To Acquire Before All Others, Is Strength Strength Physical, Strength Mental, Strength Moral, But Above All Strength Spiritual Which Is The One Inexhaustible And Imperishable Source Of All The Others. If We Have Strength Everything Else Will Be Added To Us Easily And Naturally.

Many Of Us, Utterly Overcome By Tamas, The Dark And Heavy Demon Of Inertia, Are Saying Nowadays That It Is Impossible, That India Is Decayed, Bloodless And Lifeless, Too Weak Ever To Recover; That Our Race Is Doomed To Extinction. It Is A Foolish And Idle Saying. No Man Or Nation Need Be Weak Unless He Chooses, No Man Or Nation Need Perish Unless He Deliberately Chooses Extinction.

The Higher Truth Is All The Time Working In Us But Through The Lower Power - Aparashakti. It Is When We Become Conscious Of The Play Of This Higher Power Then Only Yoga Begins.
