Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.
All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. So we have to know how to act.
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will. “I will drink the ocean”, says the persevering soul; “at my will mountains will crumble up”.
All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.
