(RECORDED BY MISS S. E. WALDO, A DISCIPLE)

FRIDAY, July 26, 1895. (Brihadâranyakopanishad.)

Love all things only through and for the Self. Yājnavalkya said to Maitreyi, his wife, “Through the Ātman we know all things”. The Ātman can never be the object of knowledge, nor can the Knower be known. He who knows he is the Ātman, he is law unto himself. He knows he is the universe and its creator. …

Perpetuating old myths in the form of allegories and giving them undue importance fosters superstition and is really weakness. Truth must have no compromise. Teach truth and make no apology for any superstition; neither drag truth to the level of the listener.
