If You Meditate On Your Ideal, You Will Acquire Its Nature. If You Think Of God Day And Night, You Will Acquire The Nature Of God.

The Rishis Of Old Attained The Knowledge Of Brahman. One Cannot Have This So Long As There Is The Slightest Trace Of Worldliness. How Hard The Rishis Laboured ! Early In The Morning They Would Go Away From The Hermitage, And Would Spend The Whole Day In Solitude, Meditating On Brahman. At Night They Would Return To The Hermitage And Eat A Little Fruit Or Roots. They Kept Their Mind Aloof From The Objects Of Sight, Hearing, Touch, And Other Things Of A Worldly Nature. Only Thus Did They Realize Brahman As Their Own Inner Conciousness.

Only Two Kinds Of People Can Attain Self-knowledge: Those Who Are Not Encumbered At All With Learning, That Is To Say, Whose Minds Are Not Over-crowded With Thoughts Borrowed From Others; And Those Who, After Studying All The Scriptures And Sciences, Have Come To Realise That They Know Nothing.
