One Cannot Learn So Well

The Daily Struggle Does Not Arise From A Purpose Or A Program, But From An Immediate Need.

When You Examine The Lives Of The Most Influential People Who Have Ever Walked Among Us, You Discover One Thread That Winds Through Them All. They Have Been Aligned First With Their Spiritual Nature And Only Then With Their Physical Selves.

The Traditional Religions Worry Me. Their Long History Proves That They Have Not Understood The Meaning Of The Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Kill. If We Want To Save This World From Unimaginable Destruction We Should Concentrate Not On The Faraway God , But On The Heart Of The Individual.

I Have Never Belonged Wholeheartedly To Country Or State, To My Circle Of Friends Or Even To My Own Family... Such Isolation Is Sometimes Bitter, But I Do Not Regret Being Cut Off From The Understanding And Sympathy Of Other Men. I Lose Something By It,to Be Sure, But I Am Compensated For It In Being Rendered Independent Of The Customs, Opinions And Prejudices Of Others, And Am Not Tempted To Rest My Peace Of Mind Upon Such Shifting Foundations.

Strange Is Our Situation Here Upon Earth.
