“Yoga, a word derived from the same Sanskrit root as the English word yoke, meaning “to join,” to join us to our reality, God.”

“The vast mass of Indian people are dualists, worshiping a Personal God. Human nature ordinarily cannot conceive of anything higher. We find that 90 percent of the population of the earth who believe in any religion are dualists. All the religions of Europe and Western Asia are dualistic;”

“I am Brahman.” This is to be heard day after day. Everything lesser must be thrown aside; this truth is to be repeated continually, day and night, poured through the ears until it reaches the heart, until every nerve and muscle and drop of blood tingles with the idea that “I am He, I am He.” It is the greatest strength; it is religion. These are the words that will burn up the dross that is in the mind, words that will bring out the tremendous energy that is within you already, and words that will awaken the Infinite Power which is sleeping in your heart.”

“The Advaitist or the qualified Advaitist does not say that dualism is wrong; it is a right view, but a lower one. It is on the way to truth. Therefore, let everybody work out their own vision of this universe, according to their own ideas. Injure none, allow people their way; take a person where he or she stands, and, if you can, lend a helping hand and put them on a higher platform, but do not injure and do not destroy. All will come to truth in the long run.”
