	Diving deep within my inner consciousness, I have discovered the citadel of peace.
	Make thyself an arrow, shining with devotion, and let it fly to its aim, God.
	Freedom is the birthright of all. The soul must break through the bars of time to realize the luminous freedom of The Eternal.
	Conquering one's mind, the Self remains unperturbed in this world.
	You; Whose holy hands hold pleasure and hold pain. Doer of good! Who art thou?
	Vedanta insists that the ideal is practical, that it has been so all the time; and this ideal is Reality, is our nature.
	As layers of clouds, generated by the sun's rays, cover the sun and appear solely in the sky, so egoism, generated by the Self, covers the reality of the Self, and appears solely by itself.
	One's soul is a lamp whose light is steady, for it burns in a place where no wind blows.

	That is the Supreme State, in which action becomes as real as contemplation and contemplation as real as action.
	Free from impurities, heated by knowledge, kindled by truth, one shines of one's pure nature, like gold.
	We are all projected from one common center, which is God.

	There is but one: the Free - the Knower - the Self.
	Various are the paths to God; the teachers - lights showing the way.
	Religion is not the spinning of ideas. It is assiduous practice and realization.
	As long as you live, say 'God, Thou art the Master and I am the servant.'
	In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33

	How can you meditate with an unsteady mind? Bit by bit, the sage burns away his impurities.
	When the mind and speech unite in earnestly asking for a thing, that prayer is answered.
	Religion is not in doctrines, nor dogma, nor arguments; it is being and becoming; it is realization.
	This evenness of mind, to both success and failure, abandoning attachment, is known as Yoga.
	The Self is subtler than the subtle, greater than the great, It dwells in the heart of each living being.
	True knowledge of religion breaks down the barriers between faith and faith. - Gandhi
	Focusing the mind on an object is Dharana; then Dhyana - unbroken meditation; then Samadhi - giving up all form; by this conquest comes the supreme knowledge.
	Innumerable are the ways that lead to God: these are the paths of the Yogas.
	One who yearns to be free is shown the way by God himself. Only ceaseless yearning is needed.
	Utterly quiet, made clean of passion, the mind of a yogi knows That, All, which is One. This bliss is the highest.
	All the different ways of approaching God fall under four Yogas: the paths of worship, of actions, of meditations, of knowledge.
