True realisation of the actual nature of this material world, its perishable, transitory and illusory aspects best dawns on a person in suffering.
As the heat of a fire reduces wood to ashes, the fire of knowledge burns to ashes all karma. Nothing in this world purifies like spiritual wisdom. It is the perfection achieved in time through the path of yoga, the path which leads to the Self within.
Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend…
Only the person having firm conviction and iron volition can attain strength and energy. At no stage of karma does he ever hesitate.
Be at peace with yourself. If you are not at peace with yourself, you are at peace with nothing.
