Do you become spiritual by performing ceremonies and rituals…? Ceremonies and rituals sometimes give a certain sensation, so-called uplift. But they are repetitious, and every sensation that is repeated soon wearies of itself.
Who realises all the happiness he desires? Everything is in the hands of God. Therefore, one should learn contentment.
The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
Happy is the unity of the Sangha. Happy is the discipline of the united ones.
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
The knowledge in your mind is immeasurably greater than all that you learnt, in all manner of ways, since birth, as a child, at school, in life, in the world, in your profession. This immeasurable knowledge sometimes percolates into the dream experience; sometimes it comes as intuitive ideas, as creative feelings.
Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.
