Spiritual Inner Life

The mental eye turned inward will always find the I, with the certainty of its imperishability.

Yogi Ramacharaka

The Soul of Things

The objective intellect concerns physical objects alone—the subjective intellect, or intuition, concerns psychical and spiritual objects; the one the body of things, the other the soul of things. Look for knowledge, concern either class of things in his own appropriate region of your being.

Yogi Ramacharaka

The Inner Recesses of Our Mind

If an individual, who has not as yet reached the stage of psychical and spiritual discernment whereby he is given the evidence of the higher sense on the question of the survival of the soul, finds his reason demanding something akin to proof, let him turn his mental gaze inward instead of outward, and there he will find that which he seeks. For, at the last, as all philosophy teaches us, the world of the inner is far more real than is the world of the outer phenomena. In fact, man has no actual knowledge of the outer—all he has is the report of the inner upon the impressions received from the outer. Man does not see the tree at which he is gazing—he perceives but the inverted image of that tree pictured upon his retina. Nay, more, his mind does not even see this image, for it receives only the vibratory report of the nerves whose ends have been excited by that image. So we need not be ashamed of taking mental stock of the inner recesses of our mind, for many of the deepest truths are recorded there.

Yogi Ramacharaka

The soul does not perish when the body dissolves

The soul does not perish when the body dissolves.

Beautiful Verses

There is one glory of the Sun

And another glory of the Moon,

And another glory of the Stars;

For one star differeth from

Another star in glory.

1 Cor. xv, 41

For all our worldly vice

The mystic seal is broken,

The works of God displays 

Unto the world a token,

In these the latter days.

When ev’ry generation

Shall learn, that Christ the Lord,

Has purchas’d their salvation 

With His precious blood.

But still mankind must suffer 

For all their worldly vice,

While they, through the atmosphere,

Pass to eternal bliss;

Where with the Great Redeemer 

They evermore will sing 

Their praise to the Creator,

And Great Eternal King.

The Other Side of Life

That which we call death is but the other side of life.

Yogi Ramacharaka

The world of spirit has its own set of apparatus

Physical apparatus is intended for physical objects only—the world of spirit has its own set of apparatus, which alone is capable of registering its phenomena.

Yogi Ramacharaka

Life persists while Nature works her changes

All occultists recognise in the transformation stages of the caterpillar-chrysalis-butterfly a picture of the transformation which awaits every mortal man and woman. For death to the human being is no more a termination or cessation than is the death-sleep of the caterpillar. In neither case does life cease for even a single instant—life persists while Nature works her changes.

Yogi Ramacharaka

Death is a lie.

Strictly speaking, from the Oriental point of view, there is no such thing as death. 

The name is a lie—

The idea—

An illusion growing from ignorance. 

There is no death—

There is nothing, but life. 

Life has many phases and forms, and some of the phases are called death by ignorant men. 

Nothing really dies—

Everything experiences a change of form and activity. 

—Yogi Ramacharaka
