The whole world must move with one who lives as one with the whole world. -Rama.

Life is based on the fact that material sensations actually present may have a weaker influence on our action than ideas of remoter facts. “Practical Reason” illumines the “Pure Reason.”

The material objects are blindly and mercilessly wielding people’s desires all the time. Religion aims to set you free of their hypnotizing influence.

The absolute determinability of our mind by abstractions (moral law, etc.) is one of the cardinal facts in our human constitution.
The soul opened out into the Infinite and there was a rushing together of the two worlds, the inner and the outer. It was deep calling unto deep – the deep within being answered by the unfathomable deep without reaching beyond the stars. The ordinary sense of things around faded. Nothing but an ineffable joy and exaltation remained. No consciousness was left save that of being wafted upwards and almost bursting with emotion. Perfect equilibrium – “God surrounds me like the physical atmosphere. He is closer to me than my own breath. In Him literally I live and move and have my being.”

Religious experiences are as convincing as any direct sensible experience can be, and they are, as a rule, much more convincing than results established by mere logic ever are.

The hero is he who lives in the inward sphere of things, in the True, Divine and Eternal, which exists always, Unseen to most, under the Temporary, Trivial: his being is in that; he declares that abroad, by act or speech as it may be, in declaring himself abroad. His life is a piece of the everlasting heart of Nature herself; all men’s life is, but the weak may know not the fact and are untrue to it, in most times; the strong few are strong, heroic, perennial, because it cannot be hidden from them.
