      Moral reform is the effort to throw off sleep. Why is it that men give so poor an account of their day if they have not been slumbering? They are not such poor calculators. If they had not been overcome… Becoming Awake

      Tranquility

        One who was suffering tumult in his soul Yet failed to seek the sure relief of prayer, Went forth—his course surrendering to the care Of fierce wind, while mid-day lightnings prowl Insiduously, untimely thunders growl; While trees, dim-seen, in frenzied… Tranquility

        The Christ Soul

          And now my grief I see Was but the ancient shadow part of me, Not yet attuned to good, Still blind and senseless in its warring mood, I turn from it and climb To heroic spirit of the prime, The… The Christ Soul

          Dana-Tapas-Yajna

            Each aspirant has to perform daily actions in the natural course of his life, using his own free will and knowledge. He has to eat to build his body as a shrine of his soul; again he has to sacrifice… Dana-Tapas-Yajna

            Gratitude and Goodwill

              Regenerate Thyself

                Men seek out retreats for themselves in the country, by the seaside, on the mountains, and thou too art wont to long above all for such things. But all this is unphilosophical to the last degree, when thou canst at… Regenerate Thyself

                  Universal Language

                    Is is always necessary that the means that are to accomplish any end be equal to the accomplishment of that end, or the end cannot be accomplished.  It is in this that the difference between finite and infinite power and… Universal Language

                      An organism is a continuous dynamism, a pattern of activity, basically electrochemical, but capable also of large, concerted forms of action with further priniciples of of organization.  Its round of functions is continuous, and every constituent action in it, every… Dynamic Interaction

                      The Great Mountain

                        Enlil, whose command is far-reaching, whose word is holy, The lord whose pronouncement is unchangeable, who forever decrees destines, Whose lifted eye scans the lands, Whose lifted light searchers the heart of all the lands, Enil who sits broadly on… The Great Mountain

                        Unity in Multiplicity

                          The Self seems to move, but is ever still. He seems far away, but is ever near. He is within all, and he transcends all. The man who sees all creatures in himself And himself in all creatures knows no… Unity in Multiplicity
