The strength people need to proceed along the path of human development can come only from the spiritual worlds.

Knowledge has value only insofar as it contributes to the all-round development of the whole nature of man.

Anyone who believes that it is possible to educate the will without cultivating the insight that enlivens it is succumbing to illusion. Clear-sightedness on this point is a task for present-day pedagogy, but it can come only from a life-filled understanding of the whole human being.

You can get an idea of human nature only when you can see the relationship of the individual human being to the whole cosmos.

One can ascend to a higher development only by bringing rhythm and repetition into one's life. Rhythm holds sway in all nature.

In order to approach a creation as sublime as the Bhagavad-Gita with full understanding it is necessary to attune our soul to it.
