"When we examine the sacred books of various religions and the original sayings of the world's greatest teachers, we are able to perceive a singular uniformity."
|
|

"In very truth, recognition and ratification in conduct of the fact of the oneness of all life is the panacea."
|
|
| 4 |
"All these parts of the Cosmos…are in correspondence or harmonious interaction or mutual resonance with each other."
|
|
| 5 |
"Try to see this world and the personalities of men as vehicles for the Divine Presence and the Divine Life, remembering also: All are but parts of one stupendous whole."
|
|
| 6 |
"Spiritually man is one with God and the goal of life in terms of consciousness is fully to know, deeply to realise, and so physically to live in recollection of this truth."
|
|
| 7 |
"The pain of bereavement and the fear of death say to us: 'Seek the inner consciousness and seek it ardently. For when found it will banish both fear of death and pain of bereavement.' In our inner selves and in our hearts, if we will let them speak, we know these things."
|
|
| 8 |
"The whole Universe with all its parts…is interlocked, interwoven, to make a single whole, one body, one organism, one life, one consciousness, cyclicly evolving under one law."

"How may the self be discovered? All teachers give the same answer: By meditation and contemplation; by self-purification; and by action in service of the Divine in all beings."

"Just as the acorn under proper conditions will produce out of itself a complete reproduction of its parent tree, which in its turn can produce hundreds of thousands of further acorns each similarly endowed, so the spiritual soul of man contains within itself in a latent or seed-like state the full potentiality of its divine source."
|
|
| 11 |
"The deity-to-be is already present embryonically within every human being."
|
|
| 12 |
"All manifested divine Power, Life and Consciousness, and so all human Spirits, radiate from the One Source."
|
|
| 13 |
"There is a quotation to the effect that 'God wills to see, and behold the eye'. Even so the innermost Self wills to express itself outwardly, to become aware, to know, to commune."
|
|
| 14 |
"Man can master circumstances and make of each experience an opportunity for a fresh beginning, however heavily the past may weigh upon him."
|
|
| 15 |
"If with the ears of the Spirit the Song of Life could be heard, what would be its theme? The answer, in a phrase, is: 'Life is One'. There exists but One Life, One Light, One Power, One Love, and that is the central spiritual truth, in realization of which the Inner Self perpetually abides."
|
|
| 16 |
"In the state of consciousness in which the Spiritual Self abides, separation is impossible, parting in unknown."
|
|
| 17 |
"Indeed, no one ever sincerely cries for light in vain."
|
|
| 18 |
"Self-existent, eternal, resplendent in Its own glory, is the Shining One, Whose Centre is invisible Fire, Whose rays are Light and Life, pervading the universe to its utmost limits, penetrating every form and causing it to live and to grow."
|
|

"Universal love is the password to the realms of light."
|

"The health and the happiness of all sentient beings depend upon their mutual, humane relationship. We are all dependent upon one another for our well-being, progress, fulfilment."
|
|
| 21 |
"The true citizen of the New Age will let compassion control even the details of daily life. He will shrink from harming anything that breathes because he will accept the Law of Kinship of all that lives."
|
|
| 22 |
"All seeds and all beings, forces and laws, constitute that totality of existence to which alone may be truly given the title 'God'."
|
|
| 23 |
"Even a partial realisation of the unity of life blends a person mentally and spiritually with his fellowmen and with Nature. At the same time, it endows him with power which he can use in character-correction and character-building."
|
|
| 24 |
"Behind all existence is one Supreme Power, one Energy, one Force, one Law, and, because of this characteristic of oneness, all the components of that One are united in the One Alone."
|
|
| 25 |
"Ultimate and complete success is assured by virtue of the presence of an infinite, divine power, ceaselessly at work within the Soul of every man."
