Day by day
If someone were to compile a list of the famous ones who found in philosophy the truth they could find nowhere else, the names would stretch from the Far East to the Far West, from pre-Greek antiquity to postwar modernity.
13.20.1.291Listen 1 Aug 2026To bring the divine presence into the midst of one’s work and one’s work continually into the divine presence—this is an inspired and worthwhile active life.
13.20.1.344Listen 2 Aug 2026The third stage of practice, contemplation, is definitely a joyous one. There is a subtle feeling of great comfort, sublime ease, at times even expanding into a rich and refined blissfulness.
15.23.7.95Listen 3 Aug 2026Philosophy sees the whole route and therefore can correctly point out the next step forward to those who are still groping their way along it.
13.20.1.222Listen 4 Aug 2026He may have his doubts, hesitations, criticisms, and even rebellions later—they may stretch out far in time—but in the end they cannot alter his course. For the quest he was born; to the quest he must surrender. The obligation is a lifelong one.
3.2.3.171Listen 5 Aug 2026He is fortunate who hears the summons from within and obeys it. For despite its demands, it brings him ever closer to peace of mind.
12.18.4.146Listen 6 Aug 2026When he can retreat within his own mind and enjoy the peace he finds there, how little can the busy thrusting beckoning world attract him?
3.3.1.20Listen 7 Aug 2026His experiences in this life were largely decided for him in a previous life on earth.
6.9.2.127Listen 8 Aug 2026What comes with the years and which is ascribed to the older people is the wisdom of practical living. This is merely information, knowledge from experience in practical affairs; it is not the wisdom which comes from the deeper being, the deeper self. That will arise only when one looks for it, aspires to it.
2.1.1.114Listen 9 Aug 2026The need today is for compounds of inspired visionaries and determined workers.
9.13.4.311Listen 10 Aug 2026He seems, in this desolate “night,” to be up against a blank wall. But with patience he may find a way out. It is well to remember Abraham Lincoln’s “This too will pass.”
