When your mind is fully withdrawn in superconsciousness, it becomes centered in the bliss of the spine. You are then in your ideational, or causal, body. That is the level of the soul.

A swami may conceivably follow only the path of dry reasoning, of cold renunciation; but a yogi engages himself in a definite, step-by-step procedure by which the body and mind are disciplined, and the soul liberated.

The sense of being a separate, egoic self begins with the astral, not with the physical, body. The soul is individualized spirit.

Cosmic energy enters the body through the medulla and then passes to the cerebrum, in which it is stored or concentrated.

The happiness of one's own heart alone cannot satisfy the soul; one must try to include, as necessary to one's own happiness, the happiness of others.

Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.
