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

When mind is still, then truth gets her chance to be heard in the purity of the silence.

Our human knowledge is a candle burnt On a dim altar to a sun-vast Truth.

The inside must be made entirely calm and quiet and there should reign an upward aspiration – a state of awaiting.

You carry in yourself all the obstacles necessary to make your realization perfect. If you discover a very black hole, a thick shadow, be sure there is somewhere in you a great light. It is up to you to know how to use the one to realize the other.

There is a knowledge in the heart of sleep.

The consciousness of the seer, is a greater power for knowledge than the consciousness of the thinker. The perceptual power of the inner sight is greater and more direct than the perceptual power of thought.

The principle of Yoga is the turning of one or of all powers of our human existence into a means of reaching divine Being.

Turn all things to honey; this is the law of divine living.

The meeting of man and God must always mean a penetration and entry of the divine into the human and a self-immergence of man in the Divinity.

An active mind needs an outlet. If it stops by itself from within, well and good; otherwise one should not try to stop this by force.

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.

Mindfulness helps us get better at seeing the difference between what’s happening and the stories we tell ourselves about what’s happening, stories that get in the way of direct experience. Often such stories treat a fleeting state of mind as if it were our entire and permanent self.

Don’t be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.

The appetites will rule if the mind is vacant.

For me, success isn’t a state of mind. I feel like success isn’t about conquering something; it’s being happy with who you are.

Devotion – a state of mind in which it refuses to occupy itself any longer with the limited and particular.

We use mindfulness to observe the way we cling to pleasant experiences & push away unpleasant ones.

Taught from infancy that beauty is woman’s sculpture the mind shapes itself to the body and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison.

As you take a few minutes each day to quiet your mind, you will discover a nice benefit: you’re everyday, ordinary life will begin to seem far more extraordinary.
