“Today’s sinner is tomorrow’s saint.”

“Nothing in nature can bring the mind continuous, unchanging happiness, because the mind itself changes constantly.”

“Mine binds; Thine liberates. If you drop ‘mines’ all over, they will ‘undermine’ your life - or blow up in your face. But if you change the ‘mines’ to Thines, you will always be safe.”

“God cannot be understood by the mind, because mind is matter, and matter cannot possibly understand something more subtle than matter.”

“If we are going to go into the secrets of life and the universe and gain control over them, we should have pure minds to make the proper use of them. Otherwise, we will bring destruction on the entire humanity.”

“Sacrifice is the law of life”

“By renouncing worldly things, you possess the most important sacred property: your peace.”

“It is easy to say, ‘Control the mind.’ But, in reality, the mind seems to be controlling us.”

“If you really want to be selfish, be selfish in the idea of retaining your peace.”

“By seeing others happy, you can’t be unhappy. But by making everybody unhappy, you can never be happy yourself.”
