“If you could take up a stone, and project it into space, and then live long enough, that stone would come back exactly to your hand. A straight line, infinitely projected, must end in a circle. Therefore, this idea that the destiny of man is progression ever forward and forward, and never stopping, is absurd.”

“किसी भी प्राणीको किसी प्रकार किंचिन्मात्र कभी कष्ट न देना (अहिंसा); हितकी भावनासे कपटरहित प्रिय शब्दोंमें यथार्थ भाषण (सत्य); किसी प्रकारसे भी किसीके स्वत्व-हकको न चुराना और न छीनना (अस्तेय); मन, वाणी और शरीरसे सम्पूर्ण अवस्थाओंमें सदा-सर्वदा सब प्रकारके मैथुनोंका त्याग करना (ब्रह्मचर्य); और शरीरनिर्वाहके अतिरिक्त भोग्यसामग्रीका कभी संग्रह न करना (अपरिग्रह) – इन पाँचोंका नाम यम है।”

“Mind (Mana): When the inner machinery gives birth to thoughts, we call it mana, or the mind. Intellect (Buddhi): When it engages in analysis and decision-making, we refer to it as buddhi, or intellect. Subconscious mind (Chitta): This is the repository of memories and inner convictions. It includes impressions continuing from past lives. Ego (Ahāṅkār): When it identifies with the attributes of the body and manifests pride, it is called ahāṅkār, or ego.”
