    What gives courage and confidence

    For gaining courage in increasing and resourceful measures, you have to look, however, to your own within. Break through the mortal sheaths of your body. Rise above the mind-sheath. Penetrate the intellectual one also.

    From Plurality to Oneness

    Purify your mind. Sublimate your mind. Understand that the mind, in ultimate analysis, is the very Self. The power of the Self is identical with the power of the supreme Lord.

    Mind can also be said to be something alien to the Soul, which veils the latter in a mysterious manner. It is all a question of which description suits your taste and becomes comprehensible for you
