1. Love Is The Law Of Life: All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. 
Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish 
is dying. Therefore, love for love's sake, because it is law of life, just as 
you breathe to live. 
2. It's Your Outlook That Matters: It is our own mental attitude, which 
  makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts 
  make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in 
  the proper light. 
3. Life is Beautiful: First, believe in this world - that there is meaning 
  behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy and beautiful. If 
  you see something evil, think that you do not understand it in the right light. 
  Throw the burden on yourselves! 
4. It's The Way You Feel: Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ; 
  feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the life, the 
  strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can 
  reach God. 
5. Set Yourself Free: The moment I have realized God sitting in the 
  temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human 
  being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that 
  binds vanishes, and I am free. 
6. Don't Play The Blame Game: Condemn none: if you can stretch out a 
  helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and 
  let them go their own way. 
7. Help Others: If money helps a man to do good to others, it is of 
  some value; but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got 
  rid of, the better.
8. Uphold Your Ideals: Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle 
  to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the 
  ideal as near as possible to the Truth. 
9. Listen To Your Soul: You have to grow from the inside out. None can 
  teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own 
  soul. 
10. Be Yourself: The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. 
  Have faith in yourselves! 
11. Nothing Is Impossible: Never think there is anything impossible 
  for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is 
  the only sin - to say that you are weak, or others are weak. 
12. You Have The Power: All the powers in the universe are already ours. 
  It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark. 
13. Learn Everyday: The goal of mankind is knowledge... now this knowledge 
  is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What 
  we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' 
  or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover 
  off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge. 
14. Be Truthful: Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot 
  be sacrificed for anything. 
15. Think Different: All differences in this world are of degree, and 
  not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.
