“He most honors my style who learns under it to destroy the teacher.”
“The gift is to the giver, and comes back most to him - it cannot fail”
“Love, that is day and night - love, that is sun and moon and stars, Love, that is crimson, sumptuous, sick with perfume, no other words but words of love, no other thought but love.”
More on Freedom
“From the moment you entered this world of existence, a ladder was put in front of you so you could escape.”
“That's the good part of dying; when you've nothing to lose, you run any risk you want.”
“When we free ourselves from name and form, especially from a body - when we need no body, good or bad - then only do we escape from bondage. Eternal progression is eternal bondage; annihilation of form is to be preferred. We must get free from any body, even a "god-body". God is the only real existence, there cannot be two. There is but One Soul, and I am That.”
More on Journey
“And thus ever by day and night, under the sun and under the stars, climbing the dusty hills and toiling along the weary plains, journeying by land and journeying by sea, coming and going so strangely, to meet and to act and react on one another, move all we restless travellers through the pilgrimage of life.”
“As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.”
“Going from--toward; it is the history of every one of us.”
