“Power comes from knowledge and knowledge comes with natural beauty in one's self.”

“Some are born with knowledge, some derive it from study, and some acquire it only after a painful realization of their ignorance.But the knowledge being possessed, it comes to the same thing.Some study with a natural ease, some from a desire for advantages, and some by strenuous effort.But the achievement being made, it comes to the same thing.”

“If knowledge does not liberate the self from the self, then ignorance is better than such knowledge.”

“Doubt … is an illness that comes from knowledge and leads to madness.”

“[W]e must come into a transformed knowing, an unknowing which comes not from ignorance but from knowledge.”

“Soul receives from soul that knowledge, therefore not by book nor from tongue. If knowledge of mysteries come after emptiness of mind, that is illumination of heart.”
