Key Quotes from This Volume

“The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves.”

“The less passion there is, the better we work. The calmer we are, the better for us and the more the amount of work we can do.”

“Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ; feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God.”
