Do not say: "The load is too heavy for me"; say rather: "I have not yet learnt the way how to bear it."
Moral idealism has not the necessary effective power. What is required is the Truth of the Spirit.
It is no longer the Age of Reason. That age has passed: it is dead and gone. One should be ashamed now of professing scepticism, agnosticism as the hallmark of culture and enlightenment or the aristocracy of the intellect. This is the age of the luminous faith and vision - the age of the Third Eye.
Falsehood is not the negation of Truth: it is the imitation of Truth, aping the Truth: it is the caricature of Truth.
The World is false not because it is non-existent, but because it exists in a wrong form. It is Maya, where the rope is taken for a snake.
Falsehood is Truth distorted (Vrjinam) - it is Truth but the life taken out of it, it is dead Truth and a wrong life put into it, it becomes Evil Truth.
Do not criticise, unless you know how to remedy the error you criticise.
Whenever there is an impulse in you to speak of the dark side of a thing, halt then and there, hold back and try to find the bright side, the complementary aspect - there is always a golden line edging the darkest cloud.
Kindle not the Flame with the wet faggot of desire-energy. It evokes more smoke than light. Seek the Pure Consciousness abiding behind; that alone can bring out the pure light and strongest energy.
Any affirmation made by the mind and the senses as they are at present constituted must be suspected: it is bound to be altogether wrong or very partial and inadequate. Observe and wait for it to pass through the crucible of later experiences - invoking all the while the higher light to descend and intervene.
It is much easier to counter the bad will of the enemy than to butt the good will of the friends.
But the Divine knows how to circumvent all and turn everything to His own use in whatever guise it may appear.
If the Knowledge is not supported by the Will, the Know ledge also gets veiled gradually.
Likewise the Will too gets unsteady if it has not the light of Knowledge in it.
Both together form the twin Ashwins of the Veda who draw safely the chariot of the perfect human adhara.
Modern Knowledge speaks even of anti-matter which is the basis or beginning of a new creation of matter.
With the dissolution all around of the existing things, are we at that momentous critical point when the past fades into oblivion ushering in a new dawn of creation - turning the world as it were on a reverse gear?
A Power, a Presence has come down near to us upon earth and is moulding infallibly the earth-substance into something which it has been always aspiring for but has never attained till now in an appreciable degree. Today the possibility is an actuality before us.
We have assembled here so that each individual contributing his mite of sincerity and efficiency, a combined endeavour may create a wide and secure opening for the new Power and Presence to come to its own and possess a home in the material life here below.
