The last and highest manifestation of Prana is love. The moment you have succeeded in manufacturing love out of Prana, you are free.
It is the hardest and the greatest thing to gain.
You must not criticise others; you must criticise yourself. If you see a drunkard, do not criticise him; remember he is you in another shape. He who has not darkness sees no darkness in others. What you have inside you is that you see in others. This is the surest way of reform.
If the would-be reformers who criticise and see evil would themselves stop creating evil, the world would be better.
Beat this idea into yourself.
