Life Is A Joyous Thing Essentially, But

As We Are Concerned With What Others Think Of Us, So We Are Anxious To Know All About Them; And From This Arise The Crude And Subtle Forms Of Snobbishness And The Worship Of Authority. Thus We Become More And More Externalized And Inwardly Empty. The More Externalized We Are, The More Sensations And Distractions There Must Be, And This Gives Rise To A Mind That Is Never Quiet, That Is Not Capable Of Deep Search And Discovery.

Teaching Is Not The Mere Imparting Of Information But The Cultivation Of An Inquiring Mind Which Will Penetrate Into The Question Of What Is Religion And Not Merely Accept The Established Religions, Churches, And Rituals.

I Hold That All The Teachers Of The World Have Attained That Life Which Is The Fulfilment Of Life. Hence, Whenever Anyone Enters That Life, Which Is The Culmination Of All Life, Then He Is Ipso Facto The Buddha, The Christ, The Lord Maitreya, Because There Is No Distinction There.

To Know Oneself Is To Study Oneself In Action, Which Is Relationship.

Have You Ever Noticed A Tree Standing Naked Against The Sky, How Beautiful It Is? All Its Branches Are Outlined, And In Its Nakedness There Is A Poem, There Is A Song. Every Leaf Is Gone And It Is Waiting For The Spring. When The Spring Comes, It Again Fills The Tree With The Music Of Many Leaves, Which In Due Season Fall And Are Blown Away. And This Is The Way Of Life.
