“धर्म क्या है? ‘धृ-धारयति इति धर्म:।’ जीव के पूर्ण विकास के लिए जो उसे धारण करता है–उसकी धारणा बनाता है–वही धर्म है।”

“Bown explains. He told Justin about a pattern he had noticed among people who had done multimonth stints in complete isolation in nature. After ten days, time starts to distort. You begin to lose the awareness of what day it is, or exactly how many days have passed since you began. Around twenty-five days in, you begin to lose the habit of compressing thoughts into words, and your internal monologue evaporates. You run on intuition. At forty days, you enter into a kind of dream state in which days and nights blend together; you dream when you’re awake, and you’re aware of reality when you sleep. At sixty-five days, Bown told Justin, you begin to become more aware of the natural processes around you. You start to notice the life cycles of birds and animals and even subtle changes in plants fluctuating by day or night, in cool weather or hot. But the biggest change after two months is that you lose your “self.” Your sense of being an individual relating to a community or society fades, and you become just another aspect of the nature that surrounds you.”

“आध्यात्मिक साक्षात्कार के ज्ञान का अहंकार सबसे घातक होता है। फल-भार से झुके आम्र-वृक्ष की भाँति साक्षात्कारी ज्ञानी को सदैव नम्र रहना चाहिए। ऐसा होने पर ज्ञान के स्वर्ण में सत्य की सुगन्ध आती है।”

“अर्थात् सामर्थ्य, ‘श्री’ अर्थात् सौन्दर्य। ‘श्री’ का अर्थ है अनगिनत सम्पत्ति, अमोघ बुद्धि, अशरण बुद्धि। ‘श्री’ के कई अर्थ हैं–असीम यश भी उसका एक अर्थ है। अनेकानेक सद्गुणों की असीम यशदायी सम्पत्ति क्या आपको इस यौवन-सम्पन्न वसुदेव-पुत्र कृष्ण में समायी हुई नहीं दिखाई दे रही है? मुझे तो वह स्पष्ट दिख रही है।”
