“Who but the Atman is capable of removing the bonds of ignorance, passion and self-interested action?”

“Like the appearance of silver in mother of pearl, the world seems real until the Self, the underlying reality, is realized.”

“Die ersten Schritte sind wertlos, wenn der Weg nicht zu Ende gegangen wird.”

“When your last breath arrives, Grammar can do nothing.”

“Beginning to doubt the gods, there is only Atman...and where is Atman found but in the self? But where is this self?”

“Only a passion for God's glory can overpower our self-interest. Submission is simply being empty of self, and this is the key to enduring relationships.”

“...to whom else should one pay honor, but to Him, Atman, the Only One? And where was Atman to be found, where did He dwell, where did His eternal heart beat, if not within the Self, in the innermost, in the eternal which each person carried within him.”
