Endurance I will not ask you how multitudinous are your miseries. I will only ask you: how much is your endurance:—How much your power of resistance against those miseries: For the night of distress cannot long endure before the rising sun of fortitude!
The World and the Cosmic Soul “This world is unreal: Brahma—the Cosmic Soul is real.'—Many people have tethered this lofty aphorism to their arbitrary whims, without realizing the core of its meaning. Brahma—the Cosmic Soul implies a dynamic universe, whereas the world signifies man's mind overflowing with alternate truths. The Cosmic Universe shot with dynamism is real, whereas the mental world giving rise to countless thoughts each moment is unreal. Wherefore it is that the philosophers adjure us to go ahead along the truthful path of the spirit-of the dynamic Being, regarding as false—unreal, the mental world which continually gives rise to insignificant elements!
