“Grace is within you. If it were external, it would be useless.”

Seeing God without seeing the Self, one sees only mental image. Only he who has seen Himself has seen God, since he has lost individuality, and now sees nothing but God.

Your duty is to be, and not to be this or that. I Am That I Am sums up the whole truth; the method is summarized in Be Still.

Call it by any name, God, Self, the Heart, or the Seat of Consciousness, it is all the same.

The greatest obstacle to enlightenment is getting past your delusion that you are not already enlightened.

The main factor in meditation is to keep the mind active in its own pursuit without taking in external impressions or thinking of other matters.

Wanting to reform the world without discovering one’s true self is like trying to cover the world with leather to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes.

The Self is the one Reality that always exists, and it is by the light of the Self that all other things are seen.

Your duty is to Be, and not to be this or that.

The Self is here and now, it is the only Reality. There is nothing else.

The entire Universe is condensed in the body, and the entire body in the Heart. Thus the Heart is the nucleus of the whole Universe.

The normal self is the mind. The mind is with limitations. But pure Consciousness is beyond limitations, and is reached by investigation into the “I.”

Non-action is unceasing activity. The sage is characterized by eternal and intense activity. His stillness is like the apparent stillness of a fast rotating gyroscope.

For those who have obtained unobstructed knowledge of Self, the world is seen merely as a bondage causing imagination.

The older one gets, the more one feels that the present moment must be enjoyed, comparable to a state of grace.

This world is the first miracle God made. God has placed the grace of new wonders in our hands.

The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace, making the best of circumstances.

None of us shines with our own light: the light that we have is a reflection of the grace of God, of the light of God.

Failure is a part of creating a great life. Stand up to it and handle it with grace. Because, you can.

He who does not travel, who does not read, who does not listen to music, who does not find grace in himself, she who does not find grace in herself, dies slowly.

If we learn to read everything in the light of the Holy Spirit, we realize that everything is grace.
