The consciously conservative man stands alone amongst manifest drunks, is alone awake amongst sleep-walkers who take their dreams for reality.

There is really no 'profane realm' that could in any way be opposed to a 'sacred realm'; there is only a 'profane point of view', which is really none other than the point of view of ignorance.

I must myself be Sun. I with my beams must dye The all-uncoloured Sea of the whole Deity.

Death will not destroy the man who does not wear upon his body the jewels of his vicious desires, as a robber does not kill a traveller who has no precious chain of gold round his neck.

Death will not prey upon the person who is not vitiated by the poison of anger and enmity; whose heart does not foster the dragon of avarice in its darkness, and whose mind is not corroded by the canker of cares.

Death does not kill the person whose body is not inflamed by the fiery passion of attachment, which consumes like wild-fire the wheat field before harvest.

Death does not approach the man who puts his trust in the one taintless and purifying Spirit of God, and whose soul rests in the lap of the supreme Soul.

Quantitative aspects have no value at all, because value is, essentially, attached to quality. Quantity is by the side of chaos.

Modernity is the way to conformity - the way to conformity forever in the direction of the lowest.

The disintegrating forces of darkness are living forces, living forces that bring death.

The forces of darkness can gain power in the world only because they have already gained power in the soul.
