If you meditate earnestly, pure in mind and kind in deeds, leading a disciplined life in harmony with the dharma, you will grow in glory. If you meditate earnestly, through spiritual disciplines you can make an island for yourself that no flood can overwhelm.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone. There is no companionship with the immature.

The happiness and peace attained by those satisfied by the nectar of spiritual tranquillity is not attained by greedy persons restlessly moving here and there.

Physical strength can never permanently withstand the impact of spiritual force.

A new conception of life cannot be imposed on men; it can only be freely assimilated. And it can only be freely assimilated in two ways: onespiritual and internal, the other experimental and external.
