"Delight is the secret.

Learn of pure delight and thou shalt learn of God.

What then was the commencement of the whole matter?

Existence that multiplied itself for sheer delight of being

and plunged into numberless trillions of forms so that it might find itself innumerably."



***



"By this Yoga we not only seek the Infinite,

but we call upon the Infinite to unfold himself in human life."



***



"Love is the key-note,

Joy is the music,

Power is the strain,

Knowledge is the performer,

the infinite All is the composer and audience.

We know only the preliminary discords which are as fierce

as the harmony shall be great; but we shall arrive surely

at the fugue of the divine beautitudes."



***



"Cease inwardly from thought and word,

be motionless within you,

look upward into the light

and outward into the vast cosmic consciousness that is around you.

Be more and more one with the brightness and the vastness.

Then will Truth dawn on you from above and flow into you from all around you."



***



"The Supramental or the Supreme Truth cannot be reached in one bound

or even in many bounds; one has to pursue a calm patient steady progress

through many intervening stages without getting bound

or attached to their lesser Truth or Light or Power or Ananda."
