As the smallest drop of water detached from the ocean contains all the qualities of the ocean, so man, detached in consciousness from the Infinite, contains within him its likeness; and as the drop of water must, by the law of its nature, ultimately find its way back to the ocean and lose itself in its silent depths, so must man, by the unfailing law of his nature, at last return to his source, and lose himself in the great ocean of the Infinite.

No man is hindered by another; he is only hindered by himself. No man suffers because of another; he suffers only because of himself.

The circumstances which a man encounters with suffering are the result of his own mental inharmony.
