"The greatest things we can have – wisdom, health and power – are all-pervading and cannot be divided. They can only develop and be shared."
|
|
| 3 |
"Men and women have the choice as to what they will do with this power within them. Shall they exhaust it in the various self-indulgences, both mental and physical, or shall they use it to become creative in the realms of the spirit and higher mind – a force for good? It is this tremendous choice which every human being has to face."

"'Love thy neighbour as thyself' – so simple and so clear! And quite enough to change this tortured earth to a lovely place."
|

"Everywhere in the world the self-same Ancient Wisdom can be traced…And everywhere in the world at present are the signs of the re-emergence of that Wisdom back into the light of day."
|

"Service leads to working with others, the beginning of that Universal Brotherhood which is inevitably and actually coming into being before our eyes."
|
|
| 7 |
"The Wisdom Teaching, down the ages, has come forth from God and thrown the needed light upon the ways of men. It has taken the form outwardly of the world religions, but has always presented to those whose eyes were open those esoteric truths and those clear instructions whereby man can find his own soul and his way back to the centre of life."

"Confucius believed in the one God over all."
|
|
| 9 |
"Love is the magnet which holds all life together. Its attraction is so strong that nothing can resist it."
|
|
| 10 |
"The function, action, and quality of the heart is love. Love in its broadest sense is the desire for reunion with the divine Spirit of the Creator which permeates all life."
|
|
| 11 |
"He whose aspirations are high, sincere and enduring may begin at once to achieve Godhood and acquire first-hand knowledge of the secrets of the universe."
|
|
| 12 |
"If the pure and original root of these different [religious] beliefs can be uncovered, it will be found to be identical in most respects. In each case we will discover that the One God over all was acknowledged."
|
|
| 13 |
"Meditation has been used throughout the ages as the means by which a person can link his brain, mind and soul together, and connect them consciously with the Universal Intelligence."
|
|
| 14 |
"All of life is built upon the law of opposites, as in the negative and positive poles of electricity, day and night, heat and cold, summer and winter, good and evil. The constant friction between these opposites causes development, change, adjustment – in other words originality, or the free-will which functions throughout all creation, and through which creation itself learns eventually to become creative."
|
|
| 15 |
"God is within us. We are each able to contact the world of spirit within our own little bodies, because in the final analysis it is the life of that world which is interpenetrating and sustaining us."
|
|
| 16 |
"The world appears to be made up of the energy of the Being or Mind behind it, whose idea it was!"

"It is very necessary to see life as a Whole."
|
|
| 20 |
"Universal love…produces an understanding of all that exists in nature."
|
|
| 21 |
"Believe in the One great Divinity."
|
|
| 22 |
"Everyone should breathe in the divine Breath of Life with all his heart and sing his song of thanksgiving no less regularly than do the birds."
|
|
| 23 |
"When universal love, neighbourliness and brotherhood eventually spread across the world, East and West will learn from each other and pool their attributes."
|
|
| 24 |
"'Man, know Thyself' was inscribed over the doors of the wonderful ancient temples of learning as the most important injunction to all aspirants."
|
|
| 25 |
"The flame of regeneration and renaissance is burning high already, and many are the little sparks, fanned by patient souls, ready now to flare into a rich fulfillment."
