• Condemn none; if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so.

• No man should be judged by his defects.

• Do not be jealous of anyone. Look not to the faults of others.
• This is the first lesson to learn: be determined not to curse
anything outside, not to lay blame upon anyone outside, but
be a man, stand up, lay the blame on yourself. You will find
that is always true. Get hold of yourself.
• Do not go against anything-----------ours is to put the
chemicals together, the Lord knows how and when the crystal
will form.
• Do not disturb, but help everyone to get higher and higher;
include all humanity.
• Do not recognize wickedness in others. Wickedness is
ignorance, weakness. What is the good of telling people they
are weak? Criticism and destruction are of no avail. We must
give them something higher; tell them of their own glorious
nature, their birthright.
• Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they
may be. Nothing is ever gained by that. You never help
anyone by telling about his faults, but you do him an injury,
and injure yourself as well.
• No one is to blame for our miseries but ourselves.
• Every man must begin where he stands, must learn how to
control the things that are nearest to him.
• Do not try to disturb the faith of any man. If you can, give
him something better; if you can, get hold of a man where he
stands and give him a push upwards.
• Blame neither man, nor God, nor anyone in the world. When
you find yourselves suffering, blame yourselves, and try to
do better.
• Man never progresses from error to truth, but from truth to
truth, from lesser truth to higher truth------------ but it is never
from error to truth.
• Therefore, if you have knowledge and see a man weak, do
not condemn him. Go to his level and help him if you can.
He must grow.
• Bring in the light and the evil goes in a moment.
• It is gentleness that has the strength to live on and to fructify
and not mere brutality and physical force.
• The evils that are in the world are caused by none else but
ourselves.
• Each is responsible for the evil anywhere in the world.
• Evil exists, and there is no shirking the fact.
• In doing evil we injure ourselves and others also.
• He alone is a sinner who sees a sinner in another man.
• How can we see evil unless it is in us?
• The Vedanta recognises no sin, it only recognises error.
• This “me and mine” is the very root of all the evil in the
world.
• We ought not to hate anyone. This world will always
continue to be a mixture of good and evil. Our duty is to
sympathies with the weak and to love even the wrongdoer.
The world is a grand moral gymnasium wherein we have all
to take exercise so as to become stronger and stronger
spiritually.
• Nature wants us to react, to return blow for blow, cheating for
cheating, lie for lie, to hit back with all our might. Then it
requires a super divine power not to hit back, to keep control,
to be unattached.
• Say, ‘This misery that I am suffering is of my own doing, and
that very thing, proves that it will have to be undone by me
alone.’ That which I created, I can demolish; that which is
created by someone else, I shall never be able to destroy.
Therefore, stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole
responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are
 the creator of your own destiny. All the strength and succor
you want is within yourselves.
• You must be perfectly pure. Do not think of evil things,
such thoughts will surely drag you down.
• Bear all evil and misery without one murmur of hurt,
without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or
retaliation.
• Give up all self, as egotism; get out of anger, lust, give all to
God. Blame none if evil comes.
• Bear with everyone’s shortcomings. Forgive offences by the
millions.
• The more opposition there is, the better. Does a river acquire
velocity unless there is resistance? The newer and better a
thing is the more opposition it will meet with the onset. It is
opposition which foretells success.
• Good and evil are our slaves, not we theirs. Children finding
glass beads in a mud puddle, that is the good of the world.
Look at it with calm complacency; see good and evil as
the same, both are merely ‘God’s play’; enjoy all.
• We must not look down with contempt on others. All of us
are going towards the same goal. The difference between
the weakness and strength is one of degree; the difference
between virtue and vice is one of degree; the difference
between heaven and hell is one of degree; the difference
between life and death is one of degree; all difference in
this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness
is the secret of everything.
• Go on! Do not look back if you think you have done
something that is not right. Now, do you believe you could
be what you are today if you had not made those mistakes
before?.............
• Bless men, when they revile you. Think how much good they
are doing you; they can only hurt themselves. Go where
people hate you, let them thrash the ego out of you and you
will get nearer to the Lord. Like the mother-monkey, we hug
 our ‘baby’, the world, as long as we can, but at last when we
are driven to put it under our feet and step on it then we are
ready to come to God. Blessed it is to be persecuted for the
sake of righteousness.
• The perfect life would be a wonderful harmony between
doing and suffering.
• Do not fight with people; do not antagonize anyone.
• Let people praise you or blame you, let fortune smile or
frown upon you, let your body fall today or after a yuga, see
that you do not deviate from the path of truth. How much
of tempests and waves one had to weather, before one
reaches the heaven of peace. The greater a man has become,
the firer ordeal he has had to pass through.
• Live in harmony with all. Give up all idea of egoism, and
entertain no sectarian views. Useless wrangling is a great sin.
• Let there be action without reaction.
• There is neither sin nor virtue; there is only ignorance.
• The power of suffering is infinitely greater than the power
of doing; the power of love is infinitely of greater potency
than the power of hatred.
• Each work has to pass through these stages---------------
ridicule, opposition, and then acceptance. Each man who
thinks ahead of his time is sure to be misunderstood.
• Man never progresses from error to truth, but from truth to
truth, from lesser truth to higher truth---------------but it is
never from error to truth.
• Resist not evil. Face it! You are higher than evil.
• There is no happiness higher than what a man obtains by this
attitude of non-offensiveness, to all creation.
• Hate not the most abject sinner, look not to his exterior.
• Go on loving. If a man is angry, there is no reason why you
should be angry; if he degrades himself, that is no reason
why you should degrade yourself.
 • Analyse yourselves and you will find that every blow you
have received, came to you because you prepared yourselves
for it.
• Bear with the various opinions of everybody. Patience,
purity, and perseverance will prevail.
• Man is not traveling from error to truth, but from truth to
truth, from lower to higher truth.
• Will sin cure sin, weakness cure weakness?
• Darkness is less light; evil is less good; impurity is less
purity.
• When God and good and everything else is in us, there
is no evil.
• The cause of evil is our desire to be superior to others
and our selfishness. The moment that the world
becomes unselfish all evil will vanish. So long as
society tries to cure evil by laws and institutions, evil
will not be cured. The world has tried this method
ineffectually for thousands of years.

The Only Cure for Evil

Force against force never cures, and the only cure for evil is
unselfishness.
• It is easy to strike a blow, but tremendously hard to stay
the hand.
• I can not see evil unless I be evil.
• Force against force never cures, and the only cure of evil is
unselfishness.
• The chief cause of all evil
Know partiality to be the chief cause of all evil.
• Jealousy is the root of all evil, and a most difficult thing
to conquer.
• How Evil is destroyed…………….
We must try our best to destroy ignorance and evil; only
we have to learn that evil is destroyed by the growth of
good.
• Life is full of ills, the world is full of evils.
• Be bold, face facts as facts. Do not be chased about the
universe by evil. Evils are evils. What of that?
• The real evil is idleness, which is the principal cause of
our poverty.
• A person living in society, specially as a house holder,
should make a show of the spirit of resisting evil for
purpose of self-defence, but at the same time trying to
avoid paying back evil for evil.
• It is a change of the soul itself for the better that alone
will cure the evils of life.
• All evil comes, as our scriptures say, relying upon
differences.
• It is only selfishness that causes the difference between good
and evil.
• Beget no evil.
• Deny evil, create none.
• All the evil acts must produce their results also.
• Therefore, the only thing we can do is to understand
that all this work against evil is more subjective than
objective. The work against evil is more educational
than actual, however big we may talk. This, first of all,
is the idea of work against evil; and it ought to make us
calmer; it ought to take fanaticism out of our blood.
• Resist not evil. Face it! You are higher than evil.
• Blows are what awaken us and help to break the dream.
They show us the insufficiency of this world and make
us long to escape, to have freedom.
• Don’t be ruffled if now and then you get a brush from
the world; it will be over in no time, and everything will
be all right.
• Don’t enter into wrangles with anybody---------------
always maintain a calm attitude.
• Useless wrangling is a great sin.
• Use agreeable and wholesome language towards even
the greatest enemy.
• Go on doing good, thinking holy thoughts continuously,
that is the only way to suppress base impressions. Never say
any man is hopeless, because he only represents a character, a
bundle of habits, which can be checked by new and better
ones. Character is repeated habits, and repeated habits alone
can reform character…………….The chaste brain has
tremendous energy and gigantic will power.
• Each human being stands for the divine.
• Goodness is our nature, perfection is our nature, not
imperfection, not impurity.
• Only cowards sin, brave men never; no, not even in
mind.
• If your freedom hurts others, you are not free there; you
must not hurt others.
• What you have inside you is that you see in others.
• Refer UNSELFISHNESS; LOVE LOVE
LOVE; THINKING; LOVE;
• Within every man, there is an idea; the external man, is only
the outward manifestation, the mere language of this idea
within.
• The ideal of faith in ourselves is of the greatest help to
us. If faith in ourselves had been more extensively
taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of
the evils and miseries that we have would have
vanished.
• The miseries of the world cannot be cured by
physical help only. Until man’s nature changes,
these physical needs will always arise, and
miseries will always be felt, and no amount of
physical help will cure them completely. The
only solution of this problem is to make
mankind pure. Ignorance is the mother of all
the evil and all the misery we see. Let men
have light, let them be pure and spiritually
strong and educated, then alone will misery
cease in the world, not before.
• Misery is caused by sin, and by no other cause.
• Inactivity should be avoided by all means. Activity always
means resistance. Resist all evils, mental and physical; and
when you have succeeded in resisting, then will calmness
come.
• If you know that you are positively other than your body, you
have then none to fight with or struggle against; you are dead
to all ideas of selfishness.
• We get only what we deserve.
• Know that talking ill of others in private is a sin. You must
wholly avoid it. Many things may occur to the mind, but it
gradually makes a mountain of a mole-hill, if you try to
express them. Everything ends, if you forgive and forget.
• Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the
greatest heresy to think so. If there is any sin, this is the
only sin----------------------to say that you are weak, or
others are weak.
• From all of you I want this that you must discard for ever
self-aggrandisement, faction-mongering, and jealousy. You
must be all-forbearing like Mother Earth. If you can
achieve this, the world will be at your feet.
• You gain nothing by becoming cowards.
 • Become a True Optimist
Control Everything
Vedanta philosophy……………takes things as they are. It
admits that this world is a mixture of good and evil, happiness
and misery, and that to increase the one, must necessity
increase the other. There will never be a perfectly good or bad
world, because the very idea is a contradiction in terms………
….It does not say that this world is all evil or all good. It says
that our evil is of no less value than our good, and our good of
no more value than our evil. They are bound together…………
…but beyond and behind all these manifestations, the Vedanta
finds out that Unity. It says, “Give up what is evil and give up
what is good”. What remains then? Behind good and evil stands
something which is yours, the real you……………and it is that
which is manifesting itself as good and bad. Know that first,
and then and then alone you will be true optimist, and not
before; for then you will be able to control everything.
Control these manifestations and you will be at liberty to
manifest the real “you”. First be master of yourself.
• Stand upon the Self, then only can we truly love the world.
Take a very, very high stand; knowing our universal nature,
we must look with perfect calmness upon all the panorama of
the world. It is but baby’s play, and we know that, so cannot
be disturbed by it. If the mind is pleased with praise, it will
be displeased with blame. All pleasures of the senses or
even of the mind are evanescent, but within ourselves is the
one true unrelated pleasure, dependent upon nothing. It is
perfectly free, it is bliss. The more our bliss is within, the
more spiritual we are. The pleasure of the Self is what the
world calls religion.
• Hold yourself as a witness and go on working.
• Never tell yourselves or others that you are weak.
• We are bound by the senses; they play upon us, make fools of
us all the time.
• Control your senses.
• Know that all sins and all evils can be summed up in
that one word----------weakness. It is weakness that
is the motive power in all evil-doing. It is weakness
that is the source of all selfishness. It is weakness
that makes men injure others. It is weakness that
makes them manifest what they are not in reality.
• Ignorance is the cause of which sin is the
result.
• We are to be saved from sin by being saved from
ignorance.
• This world is neither good nor evil; each man
manufactures a world for himself.
• Guess against guess makes fight.
• The body is our enemy, and yet is our friend.
• Serve diabolical.
• The great error in all ethical systems, without
exception, has been the failure of teaching the means by
which man could refrain from doing evil. All the
systems of ethics teach, "Do not steal!" Very good; but
why does a man steal? Because all stealing, robbing,
and other evil actions, as a rule, have become
automatic. The systematic robber, thief, liar, unjust man
and woman, are all these in spite of themselves! It is
really a tremendous psychological problem. We should
look upon man in the most charitable light. It is not so
easy to be good. What are you but mere machines until
you are free? Should you be proud because you are
good? Certainly not. You are good because you cannot
help it. Another is bad because he cannot help it. If you
were in his position, who knows what you would have
been? The woman in the street, or the thief in the jail, is
the Christ that is being sacrificed that you may be a
 good man. Such is the law of balance. All the thieves
and the murderers, all the unjust, the weakest, the
wickedest, the devils, they all are my Christ! I owe a
worship to the God Christ and to the demon Christ!
That is my doctrine, I cannot help it. My salutation goes
to the feet of the good, the saintly, and to the feet of the
wicked and the devilish! They are all my teachers, all
are my spiritual fathers, all are my Saviours. I may
curse one and yet benefit by his failings; I may bless
another and benefit by his good deeds. This is as true as
that I stand here. I have to sneer at the woman walking
in the street, because society wants it! She, my Saviour,
she, whose street-walking is the cause of the chastity of
other women! Think of that. Think, men and women, of
this question in your mind. It is a truth — a bare, bold
truth! As I see more of the world, see more of men and
women, this conviction grows stronger. Whom shall I
blame? Whom shall I praise? Both sides of the shield
must be seen.

The task before us is vast; and first and foremost, we must

seek to control the vast mass of sunken thoughts which
have become automatic with us. The evil deed is, no
doubt, on the conscious plane; but the cause which
produced the evil deed was far beyond in the realms of the
unconscious, unseen, and therefore more potent.

Practical psychology directs first of all its energies in

controlling the unconscious, and we know that we can do
it. Why? Because we know the cause of the unconscious is
the conscious; the unconscious thoughts are the submerged
millions of our old conscious thoughts, old conscious
actions become petrified — we do not look at them, do not
know them, have forgotten them. But mind you, if the
power of evil is in the unconscious, so also is the power of
good. We have many things stored in us as in a pocket. We
have forgotten them, do not even think of them, and there
are many of them, rotting, becoming positively dangerous;
they come forth, the unconscious causes which kill
humanity. True psychology would, therefore, try to bring
them under the control of the conscious. The great task is
to revive the whole man, as it were, in order to make him
the complete master of himself. Even what we call the
automatic action of the organs within our bodies, such as
the liver etc., can be made to obey our commands.
• Love alone is the fittest thing to survive and not hatred.
• Everything works for the best.
• If there is any sin in the world, it is weakness.
• The god in you is the god in all. If you have not known
this, you have known nothing. How can there be
difference? It is all one. Every being is the temple of the
most high; if you can see that, good, if not, spirituality has
yet to come to you.
• TALK NOT ABOUT IMPURITY, BUT SAY THAT
WE ARE PURE.
• We must go out, we must conquer the world through our
spirituality and philosophy. There is no other alternative,
we must do it or die.
• The seeing of many is the greatest sin of all the world.
See all as self and love all; let all idea of separateness go.
• If your ideal is matter, matter shalt thou be. Behold! Our
ideal is the spirit. That alone exists. Nothing else exists,
and like Him we live for ever.
• If you project hatred and jealousy they will
rebound on you with compound interest. No
power can avert them; when once you have put
them in motion, you will have to bear them.
Remembering this will prevent you from doing
wicked things.
• If anybody comes to you for vain dispute, politely
withdraw yourself. You must express your
sympathy with people of all sects. When these
cardinal virtues will be manifested in you, then only
you will be able to work with great energy.
• If we are pure, we cannot see impurity.
• Say, “I am the Spirit! Nothing external can touch me”.
When evil thoughts arise, repeat that, give that sledge-
hammer blow on their heads, “I am the Spirit! I am the
Witness, the Ever-Blessed! I have no reason to do, no
reason to suffer, I have finished with everything, I am
the witness. I am in my picture gallery---------this universe
is my museum, I am looking at these successive paintings.
They are all beautiful. Whether good or evil. I see the
marvelous skill, but it is all one. Infinite flames of the
great Painter! ”
• BEAR ALL EVIL AND MISERY WITHOUT ONE
MURMUR OF HURT, WITHOUT ONE THOUGHT OF
UNHAPPINESS, RESISTANCE, REMEDY, OR
RETALIATION.
• MEN ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN ALL
THE WEALTH OF THE WORLD.
• There is no difference between the secular and
the spiritual. EACH ONE IS MOVING
TOWARDS FREEDOM. Each action is a
step towards the absolute.
• Spirit alone exists. Nothing else exists.
• …………….for weakness is sin.
• We must have friendship for all; we must be merciful
toward those that are in misery; when people are
happy, we ought to be happy; and to the wicked we
 must be indifferent. These attitudes will make the
mind peaceful.
• “Face the brutes.” That is a lesson for all life—face
the terrible, face it boldly. Like the monkeys, the
hardships of life fall back when we cease to flee
before them.
• Let us make our hearts as big as an ocean, to go
beyond all the trifles of the world and see it only as a
picture. We can then enjoy the world without being
in any way affected by it.
• The more we grow in love and virtue and holiness,
the more we see love and virtue and holiness outside.
All condemnation of others really condemns
ourselves. Adjust the microcosm (which is in your
power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for
you.
• It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what
it is for us. Our thought make things beautiful, our
thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own
minds. Learn to see things in the proper light. First,
believe in this world --------------- that there is meaning
behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is
holy and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that
you are not understanding it in the right light. Throw the
burden on yourselves!
• THE WHOLE OF LIFE IS ONLY A SWAN SONG!
NEVER FORGET THOSE LINES:

The lion, when stricken to the heart,

gives out his mightiest roar.

When smitten on the head, the cobra lifts its hood.

And the majesty of the soul comes forth,

only when a man is wounded to his depths.

• If we enjoy everything in the Self, and as the Self, no misery

or reaction will come.
• Seeing difference is the cause of all misery, and ignorance
is the cause of seeing difference.
• Never mind failures; they are quite natural, they are
the beauty of life---------these failures. What would
life be without them? It would not be worth having if
it were not for struggles. Where would be the poetry
of life? Never mind the struggles, the mistakes. I
never heard a cow tell a lie, but it is only a cow---------
never a man. So never mind these failures, these little
backslidings; hold the ideal a thousand times; and if
you fail a thousand times, make the attempt once more.
• Those that want to help mankind must take their own
pleasure and pain, name and fame, and all sorts of
interests, and make a bundle of them and throw them
into the sea, and then come to the Lord. This is what all
the Master said and did.
• The knowing ones must have pity on the ignorant.
• Think always, “I am ever-pure, ever-knowing, and ever-
free. How I can do anything evil? Can I ever be fooled
like ordinary people with the insignificant charms of
lust and wealth?” Strengthen the mind with such
thoughts. This will surely bring real good.
• Do not be miserable! Do not repent! What is done is
done.
• This world for me, not I for the world. Good and evil are
our slaves, not we theirs. It is the nature of the brute to
remain where he is (not to progress); it is the nature of man to
seek good and avoid bad; it is the nature of God to seek
neither, but just to be eternally blissful. Let us be gods! Make
the heart like an ocean; go beyond all the trifles of the
 world; be mad with joy even at evil, see the world as a
picture and then enjoy its beauty, knowing that nothing
affects you. Children finding glass beads in a mud puddle,
that is the good of the world. Look at it with calm
complacency; see good and evil as the same, both are
merely ‘God’s play’; enjoy all.
• Many of us get many messages in our lives, or think we
get them. As long as the message is regarding our own
selves, go on doing what you please. But when it is in
regard to our contact with and behavior to others, think
a hundred times before you act upon it—and then you
will be safe.
• None can hate others without degenerating himself.
• Do not repent, do not brood over past deeds. You can
not undo, the effect must come, face it; but be careful
never to do the same thing again.
• We Vedantists in every difficulty ought to ask the
subjective questions, ‘Why do I see that? Why can I
not conquer this with love?’
• It is very easy to search for faults, but the characteristic
of a saint lies in looking for merits.
• Do not go about throwing mud at others; for all the
faults you suffer from, you are the sole and only cause.
• We cannot see impurity without having it inside
ourselves.
• Live in harmony with all. Give up all idea of egoism, and
entertain no sectarian views. Useless wrangling is a great sin.
• Let men have light, let them be pure and
spiritually strong and educated, then alone will
misery cease in the world, not before.
• Knowing that the Love is everywhere, the sages give up
praising and blaming.
• Do not drag others down to where you are.
• Remove the veils of ignorance by purity, then we
manifest ourselves as we really are and know that we
were never in bondage.
• Stand up, be bold, and take the blame on your own
shoulders.
• To call another man a sinner is the worst thing you can
do.
• Love is truth, and hatred is false, because hatred makes
for multiplicity.
• Have charity towards all beings. Pity those who are in
distress. Love all creatures. Do not be jealous of
anyone. Look not to the faults of others.
• It is hatred that separates man from man, therefore it is
wrong and false.
• Stand aside, and freely let these frictions come. You feel
the frictions only when you are outside of it simply as a
witness and as a student, you will be able to see that
there are millions and millions of channels in which
God is manifesting Himself as Love.
• Think of your higher self, not of your lower.
• Each one of us will have to discover.
• Do not let the thoughts grasp you; stand aside, and they
will die away.
• Life to everyone must be a compromise.
• Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand,
do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your
brothers, and let them go their own way.
• If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught
and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils
and miseries that we have would have vanished.
• If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about
death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and
masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes
 more secure, more fraught with action, richer in
achievement and experience.
• The Vedanta recognizes no sin it only recognizes error.
And the greatest error, says the Vedanta is to say that
you are weak, that you are a sinner, a miserable
creature, and that you have no power and you cannot do
this and that.
• Turn thy gaze inward, where resides the Paramatman.
• “Face the brutes.” That is a lesson for all life—face the
terrible, face it boldly. Like the monkeys, the hardships
of life fall back when we cease to flee before them.
• Everything in this world, whether good or bad,
belongs to God.
• We must “sin” (that is, make mistakes) in order to rise
to Godhood.
• You must not criticise others; you must criticise
yourself.
• I shall work incessantly until I die; and even after death I
shall work for the good of the world. Truth is infinitely
more weighty than untruth; so is goodness. If you possess
these, they will make their way by sheer gravity.
• Whatever is weak and corrupt is liable to
die------------------what are we to do with it?
• Nothing is baser than calling our brother a sinner.
• Our conquerors must be made Devas by the power of
our spirituality.
• See Him in all, good and bad alike.
• OUR MOTTO
Sympathy for the poor, the downtrodden, even unto
death----------------this is our motto.
• Never forget that a man is made great and perfect as
much by his faults as by his virtues.
• Persons are but the embodiments, the illustrations of the
principles.
• Even fighting in self-defence is wrong, though it is
higher than fighting in aggression.
• The Vedas cannot show you Brahman, you are That
already; they can only help to take away the veil that
hides the truth from our eyes. The first veil to vanish is
ignorance, and when that is gone, sin goes, next desire
ceases, selfishness ends and all misery disappears.
This cessation of ignorance can only come when I
know that God and I are one; in other words, identify
yourself with Atman, not with human limitations.
Disidentify yourself with the body and all will cease.
This is the secret of healing. The universe is a case of
hypnotization; dehypnotize yourself and cease to
suffer.
• Let us blame none, let us blame our own Karma.
• Pleasure is not the goal of man, but knowledge. Pleasure and
happiness come to an end. It is a mistake to suppose that
pleasure is the goal. The cause of all the miseries we have in the
world is that men foolishly think pleasure to be the ideal to
strive for. After a time man finds that it is not happiness, but
knowledge, towards which he is going, and that both pleasure
and pain are great teachers, and that he learns as much
from evil as from good………………..Good and evil have an
equal share in moulding character, and in some instances
misery is a greater teacher than happiness. In studying the great
characters the world has produced, I dare say, in the vast
majority of cases, it would be found that it was misery that
taught more than happiness, it was poverty that taught more
than wealth, it was blows that brought out their inner fire more
than praise.
• Be the witness. Learn never to react.
• Consciously or unconsciously, every man is trying to unfold
that divinity.
• Whatever we do good or evil, the propeller is love.
• Our duty is to encourage everyone in his struggle to live
upto his own highest ideal, and strive at the same time to
make the ideal as near as possible to the truth.
• We are all of us struggling towards knowledge.
• You and I are one.
• This (love) is the one motive power in the universe.
• All hatred is “Killing the self by the self”; therefore, love is the
law of life.
• We are suffering from our own karma. It is not the
fault of God. What we do is our own fault, nothing
else. Why should God be blamed?
• Every one must be ready for it-------------------the conquest of

====================================
Modified
• Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they
may be. Nothing is ever gained by that. You never help
anyone by telling about his faults, but you do him an injury,
and injure yourself as well.
• The more opposition there is, the better. Does a river acquire
velocity unless there is resistance? The newer and better a
thing is the more opposition it will meet with the onset. It is
opposition which foretells success.
• This is the first lesson to learn: be determined not to curse
anything outside, not to lay blame upon anyone outside, but
be a man, stand up, lay the blame on yourself. You will find
that is always true. Get hold of yourself.
• Do not go against anything-----------ours is to put the
chemicals together, the Lord knows how and when the crystal
will form.
• Do not be jealous of anyone. Look not to the faults of
others.
• It is that eternal love, unruffled equanimity under all
circumstances, and perfect freedom from jealousy or
animosity that will tell. That will tell, nothing else.
• Avoid jealousy and selfishness.
• Be jealous of none.
• Throw overboard all idea of jealousy and egotism, once for
all.
• Take care of these two things---------------love of power and
jealousy.
• One must be a servant of servants and must accommodate a
thousand minds. There must not be a shade of jealousy or
selfishness, then you are a leader.
• This rascal ego must be obliterated. Powers to help mankind
is with the silent ones who only live and love and withdraw
their own personality entirely.
• Know that talking ill of others in private is a sin. You must
wholly avoid it. Many things may occur to the mind, but it
gradually makes a mountain of a mole-hill, if you try to
express them. Everything ends, if you forgive and forget.
• How Evil is destroyed…………….
We must try our best to destroy ignorance and evil; only
we have to learn that evil is destroyed by the growth of
good.
• The chief cause of all evil
Know partiality to be the chief cause of all evil.
• Ignorance is the cause of which sin is the
result.
• The power of suffering is infinitely greater than the
power of doing; the power of love is infinitely of
greater potency than the power of hatred.
• Therefore, if you have knowledge and see a man weak, do
not condemn him. Go to his level and help him if you can.
He must grow.
