Selection from "Essays on the Gita" First Series, Ch. 18 (2482 words) |
 | On the contrary in the full flood of action the soul is free from its works, is not the doer, not bound by what is done, and he who lives in the freedom of the soul, not in the bondage of the modes of Nature, alone has release from works. |
 | He has become a soul and ceased to be a sum of natural qualities; and such appearance of personality as remains for the operations of Nature, is something unbound, large, flexible, universal; it is a free mould for the Infinite, it is a living mask of the Purushottama. |
 | The Divine motives, inspires, determines the entire action; the human soul impersonal in the Brahman is the pure and silent channel of his power; that power in the Nature executes the divine movement. |
| THE BODY OF LOVE - soul (1370 words) |
 | The soul emerges from its initial source like a Divine ray, and enters into the boundless universe to do the work which is in store for it. |
 | The greater the number of souls with which the human soul is connected, the stronger and more invulnerable it is. The success of the soul depends upon the number of souls with which it is connected. |
 | It is impossible for one soul to divert another from its path, because God watches vigilantly over all souls, and directs their movements in the boundless universe. |
