“That within us which seeks to know and to progress is not the mind but something behind it which makes use of it.”

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.

But difficulties were made to be overcome and if the Supreme Will is there, they will be overcome.

Man in the world’s life works out the dreams of God.

This world is a vast unbroken totality, a deep solidarity joins its contrary powers.

Only when Eternity takes Time by the hand, Only when infinity weds the finite’s thought, Can man be free from himself and live with God.

Recover the source of all strength in yourself, and all else will be added to you … political freedom, the mastery of human thought, the hegemony of the world.

The anarchic is the true divine state of man in the end as in the beginning; but in between it would lead us straight to the devil and his kingdom.

You have however within you an inclination towards completeness.

Delight is the secret. Learn of pure delight and thou shalt learn of God.

Impossibility is only a sum of greater unrealised possibles. It veils an advanced stage and a yet unaccomplished journey.

To hope for a true change of human life without a change of human nature is an irrational and unspiritual proposition.

Hidden nature is secret God.

Be conscious first of thyself within, then think and act. All living thought is a world in preparation; all real act is a thought manifested. The material world exists because an idea began to play in divine self–consciousness.

What is God after all? An eternal child playing an eternal game in an eternal garden.

The subliminal mind receives and remembers all those touches that delight the soul. Our soul takes joy in this right touching by the Essence of all experience.

The mind has these four levels: physical, vital, buddhi, higher mind. The Supermind is far above these.

A man’s mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth.

Holding the mind to a subject is like holding a ship to its course; it implies constant change of place combined with unity of direction.

Friendship and domestic happiness are continually praised; yet how little is there of either in the world, because it requires more cultivation of mind to keep awake affection, even in our own hearts, than the common run of people suppose.

In words are seen the state of mind and character and disposition of the speaker.

Strengthen the female mind by enlarging it, and there will be an end to blind obedience.

A mind without instruction can no more bear fruit than can a field, however fertile, without cultivation.

The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct.

Courage consists not in hazarding without fear; but being resolutely minded in a just cause.
