Knowledge is greater than riches

Knowledge is more more powerful than riches. Make a place for it. Pause for one minute in your day, and imagine a door, that you have never noticed before. Suppose behind it a way to become one with what would make you free. Leave everything you are and have beside it, except for a small and nimble prayer.

Take off all your cloths, and as you enter, say the prayer. Do this every day and soon your life will be full of doors. The correct attitude abandons the self at the entrance, and the man becomes the prayer.

One who amasses material goods is very likely to have traded what is more valuable for them.

A man can not have both material wealth, and understanding, for he will hate one and love the other. One is responsible for great suffering, and the other for far ranging, enconceivable beauty.

It would be a terrible truth to discover when the hour is late, that for all your days, you served the wrong master.
