Separation is a fact of life, and the only difference is that we feel separation from different people at different times. But all the time there is the separation from someone or the other. The increasing feeling of separation, perhaps anguish, reveals growth of love. This is a wonderful thing, though it causes great pain at the same time.

God did not create Himself for any one race or any one country or any one set of people. He created every thing and if He created everything, everything is His whether we like it or not. And in ourselves it is spirituality. We are only seeking to cease being our own and to become His. This is what Surrender implies. Surrender says, "My Lord, I am no longer my own, as I thought I was.

What a nice philosophy is contained in the saying that everything appears as round. The reason is that when that Great Architect willed to create the universe and used the energy, the actions started in a round way in order to establish a circuit so that the energy could work. Now when this very energy got concentrated, it came to be called as solid, or matter, due to the force of the action. Now you have to remove this very solidity from the aspirant, so that he may become spirit from top to...
It is very necessary to understand that transmission by itself is of no use. If you put milk in a dirty vessel it is dirty, perhaps you cannot even drink it. If you continue to pour milk into it you are only making more and more milk useless. Instead of wasting a gallon, you are wasting two gallons, twenty gallons, two hundred gallons.

In sports, there are two things that are necessary: sportsmanship and the ability to concentrate on what you are doing. Sportsmanship is an attitude of the heart, that in sports there is both victory and loss ― and the famous dictum that we play not to win but for the sake of the game. This generosity, or the acceptance, the humility to accept, that failure is an ever-present possibility, and therefore we play only for the game, not to be victorious. And victory goes to the one who can...

You have a right to expect all that is good and high from yourself - indeed you must demand it from yourself - but as far as others are concerned, you must be tolerant.

Faith, in true sense, is a lively link connecting the mortal with the Immortal. It is no doubt effected through the medium of the Master who is himself connected with the Immortal. The link when once connected cannot be broken under any condition and subsists all along during the course of our march up to final point.
