‘We mistake the shadows of this passing world for the light which they reflect, and it is only when we discover the source of their being that our desire is satisfied.’

'One of the striking features of the present age is the lack of any real comprehension regarding the nature of man. Man is trying to know everything in the universe. He can say with certainty what stars, millions of miles away, are made of. He knows thoroughly the constitution of atoms and molecules. But about himself, he knows practically nothing.'

‘Out of the silence something begins to speak to us. Previously we could hear speech only with our ears, but now words resound in our souls. An inner speech, an inner word, is disclosed to us. The first time we experience this we feel supremely blessed. Our outer world is suffused with an inner light. A second life begins for us. A divine, bliss-bestowing world streams through us.’

‘Theosophy has a gospel for the Western world. It has to announce that there is no gloomy impenetrable abyss beyond the grave, but instead of that a world of life and light which may be known to us as clearly and fully and accurately as this physical world in which we live now.’

'Become a part of the bridge between Heaven and Earth, between the present age and the new, between that which you appear to be and the Shining One which is your soul.'

‘The continual outpouring of a feeling of Peace and Divine Love to every person and everything unconditionally, no matter whether you think it be deserved or not, is The Magic Key that unlocks the door and releases instantly this tremendous ‘Inner God-Power’.’

‘The outer experience of Life is but a constant, changing, passing picture that the outer mind has created in its pretense (imagination) of being the Real Actor. Thus is the attention so constantly fixed upon the outer, which alone contains imperfection, that the Children of God have forgotten their own Divinity and must come back to It again.’

‘True service is the spontaneous outflow of a loving heart and an intelligent mind… it is produced by the inevitable inflow of spiritual force and not by strenuous physical plane activity; it is the effect of a man’s being what he truly is, a divine Son of God, and not by the studied effect of his words of deeds.’
