(From aphorisms, remarks, brief messages or letters.)

O men! How can you utter the sublime word “Peace” when there is no peace in your hearts?

The War is over, so you say, and yet everywhere man is slaying man and Cain still sheds his brother’s blood!


In the Bible, God calls Cain and asks him: “What have you done with your brother?”

Today I call man and ask him: “What have you done with the earth?”


Humanity is a sick child always wanting what is bad for him. Philanthropy is like a mother who, in order to satisfy her child’s demands, would give him the very thing that will make him worse.

It is a mistake to consider service to humanity as the highest expression of service to the Divine. To do so is to remain far too confined within the limits of an exclusive human consciousness.


The world is deafened with useless words.


Organisation and discipline are the necessary basis for all realisation.

To know how to command well, one must first know how to obey well.


A persevering will overcomes every obstacle.
