Despite the many differences that seem to exist between peoples the world over — regardless of culture, tradition, environment, or heredity — there is but one seeker, one search, and one sacred object of our desire. The celestial source of this sacred being doesn’t just live within us… we are, in fact, one with it.
Whatever we are now, is the result of our acts and thoughts in the past; and whatever we shall be in the future, will be the result of what we think and do now… When it comes, the higher powers and possibilities of the soul are quickened, spiritual life is awakened, growth is animated.
Give me liberty to know.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear.
A principle installed into a good mind brings forth fruit.
It is love that asks, that seeks, that knocks, that finds, and that is faithful to what it finds.
In anything at all, perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away.
In this patient, though uncheered obedience, we become prepared for light. The soul gathers force.
Energy is Eternal Delight.
You who suffer from the tribulations of life, you who have to struggle and endure, you who yearn for a life of truth, rejoice at the glad tidings! There is balm for the wounded, and there is bread for the hungry. There is water for the thirsty, and there is hope for the despairing. There is light for those in darkness, and there is inexhaustible blessing for the upright.
If powers divine
Behold our human actions, as they do,
I doubt not then but innocence shall make
False accusation blush, and tyranny
Tremble at patience.
It is only the silent mind, the mind that is free, that can come upon that which is beyond time.
Miracles are within us, natural facts which some call supernormal.
Belief consists in accepting the affirmation of the soul; unbelief, in denying them.
To see a world in a grain of sand
And a Heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Great truths do not take hold of the hearts of the masses.
Our activity should consist in placing ourselves in a state of susceptibility to Divine impressions, and pliability to all the operations of the Eternal Word.
Principles are like seeds; they are little things which do much good, if the mind which receives them has the right attitudes.
The mystic ocean of existence is not to be crossed as something outside ourselves. It is in oneself.
It is the understanding that sees and hears; it is the understanding that improves everything, that orders everything, and that acts, rules, and reigns.
It is peace, not happiness, that quells the fires of desire and leaves the heart truly content. Peace is the very essence of emotion and thought and yet beyond the touch of both.
Whenever a mind is simple, and receives a divine wisdom, old things pass away: means, teachers, texts, temples fall. It lives now, and absorbs past and future into the present hour. All things are made sacred by relation to it, one as much as another. All things are dissolved to their centre by their cause, and, in the universal miracle, petty and particular miracles disappear.
When I look inside and see that I am nothing, that is wisdom. When I look outside and see that I am everything, that is love. And between these two, my life turns.
It is the endeavor by the constant exercise of spiritual activity, to appropriate that infinite inheritance of which we are already in possession.
The Kingdom of Heaven lies in the space between two thoughts.
