Consider also:

  1. “Strain forth thine Intelligence, O man, O worthy one, O chosen of IT, to apprehend the discourse of THE MASTER; for thus thy reason shall at last break down, as the fetter is struck from a slave’s throat.”
  2. “What man is at ease in his Inn? Get out.”
  3. “Consciousness is a symptom of disease.”
  4. “Love destroyeth self, uniting self with that which is not-self, so that Love breedeth All and None in One.”
  5. “Be not caught within that web, O child of Freedom! Be not entangled in the universal lie, O child of Truth!”

← “All that moves well moves without will.” “Practise a thousand times, and it becomes difficult; a thousand thousand, and it becomes easy; a thousand thousand times a thousand thousand, and it is no longer Thou that doeth it, but It that doeth itself through thee. Not until then is that which is done well done.” →

  • “What if we were able to train ourselves to desire only things that are firmly within our control? Then, in a very real sense, we’d always get what we want, and never get what we don’t want. Our happiness would never spill, since the cup of our desires is reliable and holds firm.”
