He who arrogantly declares “mine” is under the false assumption that he is the master of the house.


You may think you own your house and your dog and your land, but before you permit yourself to be so prideful ask yourself this perspective question: Am I the owner of the sun which makes the plants to grow, to flower and bear fruit? Am I the owner of the lightning, or the clouds and rain, or the orbiting earth in the vastness of space? Am I the owner of the nostrils which enable me to smell, or the tongue which enables me to taste, or the stomach which enables me, without my effort, to digest my food, etc, etc. Don’t you think humility is the better part of wisdom?


One’s tentative and temporary opinion is often thought of as the final truth. He who thinks so has arrogated to himself a premature and totally undeserved omniscience.


The more I learn, and the more educated I become the more convinced I am that I really know very little.


Man knows so much about other things but so little about himself.


Most people’s opinions are not carefully worked out but are mere quotations of what someone else has said.


The same light that reveals your faults is the same light that will dissipate them. However, you have to let the light shine.


Apparently there are some people who see in the dark while most are blind even in the light.


When one says “I” they are unknowingly referring to their Ego, not their imprisoned Self. It is our task to eliminate the Ego and emancipate the Self. When are you going to begin doing it?


The most awful characteristic of man, which leads to the most awful internal pain and destruction known to man, is his egocentricity, which is another word for selfishness.


The enlightened and awakened person will admit that it is imperative that he destroy his egocentricity. But, he simply cannot do it alone. There must be a power outside himself which gets into him and works a mighty change within him. However that power must be called upon.


God’s will is seldom enacted in behalf of an individual until that person’s will corresponds with His.
