• But fear - panic - knows no reason. It brings into being overnight the things that it fears. It is the greatest torment of humanity. Fear is, in short, the devil. It causes most of the sin, disaster, disease and misery of the world. It is the ravening lion roaming the earth seeking whom it may...devour. The only refuge is in the knowledge that it has no power other than the power you give it.

  Robert Collier

• Surround yourself with those who are moving very quickly towards Unity. Be in the presence of those who are running forward. Besides the knowledge the Veda, the greatest thing we can do is be surrounded by those who are living and seeking the highest value of life, Brahmi Chetana. This is why yogic flying with groups is so much greater than flying alone. To live and work with others who are moving and aspiring fast towards Unity consciousness is the great force to help you achieve Unity.

• Seek (beneficial) knowledge,
  because seeking it for the sake of Allaah is a worship.
  And knowing it makes you more God-fearing;
  and searching for it is jihad,
  teaching it to those who do not know is charity,
  reviewing and learning it more is like tasbeeh.
  Through knowledge Allaah will be known and worshiped.
