There is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle.
A certain motion becomes understood when it is referred to a force; certain sensations, to matter; certain changes outside, to law; certain changes in thought, to mind; certain order singly, to causation – and joined to time, to law.
A point of rest alone explains motion.
All motion, either in the body or anywhere else, is the work of this Prana.
In the primal state before any manifestation, when there was no motion but perfect balance, this Prakriti was indestructible, because decomposition or death comes from instability or change.
It is the Prana that is manifesting as motion.
Matter is motion outside, mind is motion inside.
Motion is the sign of life.
Remember the only sign of life is motion and growth.
So long as we perceive this world in motion, we have to conceive will behind it.
It is not God’s fault. It is our fault that we suffer. Whatever we sow we reap.
Never forget that a man is made great and perfect as much by his faults as by his virtues. So we must not seek to rob a nation of its character, even if it could be proved that the character was all faults.
Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they may be. Nothing is ever gained by that. You never help one by talking about his fault; you do him an injury, and injure yourself as well.
Nobody has a right now to say that the Hindus are not liberal to a fault.
Religion is not in fault.
The same fire that cooks a meal for us may burn a child, and it is no fault of the fire if it does so; the difference lies in the way in which it is used.
We do not look at our own faults; the eyes do not see themselves, they see the eyes of everybody else. We human beings are very slow to recognise our own weakness, our own faults, so long as we can lay the blame upon somebody else.
All growth, progress, well – being, or degradation is but relative.
According to the history of human progress, it is disobedience to nature that has constituted that progress.
All progression is in the relative world.
