But for what purpose was the earth formed? asked Candide. "To drive us mad$$$" replied Martin.

There are truths which are not for all men$$$ nor for all times.

Let us cultivate our garden.

He who knows that he is free is free; he who knows that he is bound is bound. What is the end and aim of life? None$$$ because I know that I am the Infinite.

When you step beyond thought and intellect and all reasoning$$$ then you have made the first step towards God; and that is the beginning of life.

What is it that is whirling the mind? Imagination$$$ creative activity. Stop creation and you know the truth. All power of creation must stop$$$ and then you know the truth at once.

The idea is$$$ when a man receives a gift from another$$$ his heart becomes impure$$$ he becomes low$$$ he loses his independence$$$ he becomes bound and attached.

We are like the caterpillar which takes the thread out of his own body and of that makes the cocoon$$$ and behold$$$ he is caught.

A little of the infinite is projected into consciousness$$$ and that we call our world.

It is the Level-headed Man$$$ the Calm Man$$$ of Good Judgement and cool nerves$$$ of Great sympathy and love$$$ who does good work and so does good to himself.
