Realise the Light that never fades.

IF, O reader!

You would realise the Joy that never ends, and the tranquillity that cannot be disturbed; if you would leave behind for ever your sins, your sorrows, your anxieties, and perplexities; if, I say, you would partake of this salvation, this supremely glorious Life, then conquer yourself.

Bring every thought, every impulse, every desire into perfect
obedience to the divine power resident within you.

There is no other way to peace but this; and if you refuse to walk
it, your much praying and your strict adherence to ritual will be fruitless and unavailing, and neither gods nor angels can help you.

Only to him that overcometh is given the white stone of the regenerate life, on which is written the New and Ineffable Name.

The holy place within you is your real and eternal self: it is the divine within you.

Let your heart grow and expand with ever-broadening love, until, freed from all hatred, and passion, and condemnation, it embraces the whole universe with thoughtful tenderness.

As the flower opens its petals to receive the morning light, so open your soul more and more to the glorious light of Truth.

Soar upward on the wings of aspiration; be fearless and believe in the loftiest possibilities.

Mind clothes itself in garments of its own making.

Mind is the arbiter of life; it is the
creator and shaper of conditions, and the recipient of its own results.

It contains within itself both the power to create illusion and to perceive reality.

Mind is the infallible weaver of destiny; thought is the thread, good and evil deeds are the warp and woof, and the web, woven upon the loom of life, is character.

Make pure thy heart, and thou wilt make thy life Rich, sweet, and beautiful, unmarred by strife.
