Paths to Immortality

In the kingdom of God reason, intellect, and learning are of no avail. There

the dumb speak, the blind see, and the deaf hear.

'When the grace of the Almighty descends on any one, he immediately

understands his mistakes ; knowing this you should not dispute.

Visit not the miracle mongers and those who exhibit occult powers. These men

are stragglers from the path of truth. Their minds have become entangled in

psychic powers, which are like veritable meshes in the way of the pilgrim to

Brahman. Beware of these powers, and desire them not.

"No quality will get a man more friends than a disposition to admire the

qualities of others.

The mind that is much arrogant and insolent with prospefl but is cast down

with adversity is generally abject and base. Watch lest

prosperity destroy generosity. Arrogance is the outgrowth of

prosperity.

When the world blames and slanders us, our business is not to be vexed at

it, but rather to consider whether there is any foundation for it, any truth

at bottom,

The contagion of cheer has a wonderful effect. It transforms fog into light,

depression into brightness, sickness into health. It should be taught in all

schools before anything else.
