• The kingly science and the kingly mystery is devotion to and study of the light which comes from within. The very first step in true occultism is to try to apprehend the meaning of Universal Brotherhood, without which the very highest progress in the practise of magic turns to ashes in the mouth. — Echoes of the Orient I:4

• There is no room for sorrow in the heart of him who knows and realizes the Unity of all spiritual beings. While people, monuments and governments disappear - the self remains and returns again. The wise are not disturbed; they remian silent; they depend on the Self and seek their refuge in it.—(Echoes of the orient vol III. p.225.)
