* 1


I do not open up the truth to one who is not eager to get knowledge, nor help out any one who is not anxious to explain himself. When I have presented one corner of a subject to any one, and he cannot from it learn the other three, I do not repeat my lesson.


* 2


What the superior man seeks, is in himself. What the mean man seeks, is in others.


* 3


...man's development consists chiefly in a growing awareness and understanding of himself.


* 4


Thorough education in its own class interests is valuable, is indispensable, but it is not all-sufficient. The habit of self-enforced discipline is an essential accompaniment of class-consciousness.


* 5


We must look for the characters of men in the qualities of the mind, not in the species of their food, or in the mode of their apparel.


* 6


...we are believing more and more in the education of the people, and from that naturally results greater individuality and a greater desire to hear the honest opinions of all.


* 7


The old Greek maxim, “Know thyself,” is the starting-point of all reformation.


* 8


The first creation, on the other hand, must come forth "out of nothing" - the spirit has toward its realization nothing but itself, or rather it has not yet even itself, but must create itself; hence its first creation is itself, the spirit. Mystical as this sounds, we yet go through it as an everyday experience. Are you a thinking being before you think? In creating the first thought you create yourself, the thinking one; for you do not think before you think a thought, or have a thought. Is it not your singing that first makes you a singer, your talking that makes you a talker?


* 9


Only the man who has intellect (not all men have it) can thus know himself.


* 10


There is no one method for attaining realization of the Tao. To regard any method as the method is to create a duality, which can only delay your understanding of the subtle truth. The mature person perceives the fruitlessness of rigid, external methodologies; Remembering this, he keeps his attitude unstructured at all times and thus is always free to pursue the Integral Way. He studies the teachings of the masters. He dissolves all concepts of duality. He pours himself out in service to others. He performs his inner cleansing and does not disturb his teacher with unnecessary entanglements, thus preserving the subtle spiritual connection with the teacher's divine energy. Gently eliminating all obstacles to his own understanding, he constantly maintains his unconditional sincerity. His humility, perseverance, and adaptability evoke the response of the universe and fill him with divine light.


* 11


Can you be still and look inside? If so, then you will see that the truth is always available, always responsive.


* 12


...the most effective method is always that to which the student's natural energy most harmoniously responds.
