हमारा सबसे बड़ा प्रयास ऐसे स्वतंत्र इंसानों को तैयार करना होना चाहिए जो अपने जीवन को खुद एक उद्देश्य और दिशा दे सकें। कल्पना शक्ति, सच्चाई का अहसास और ज़िम्मेदारी की भावना—ये तीनों शिक्षा की असली रीढ़ हैं।

Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility—these three forces are the very nerve of education.

प्रेम विचारों से कहीं ऊपर है। अगर लोग एक-दूसरे से प्रेम करते हैं, तो कितने भी अलग मतभेद हों, उन्हें सुलझाया जा सकता है—इसलिए आज और भविष्य में मानवता के लिए सबसे महत्वपूर्ण कार्यों में से एक यह है कि हम साथ रहना और एक-दूसरे को समझना सीखें। अगर यह आपसी भाईचारा हासिल नहीं हुआ, तो विकास की सारी बातें बेमानी हैं।

Love is higher than opinion. If people love one another the most varied opinions can be reconciled - thus one of the most important tasks for humankind today and in the future is that we should learn to live together and understand one another. If this human fellowship is not achieved, all talk of development is empty.

वाल्डोर्फ़ पद्धति का सार यह है कि शिक्षा एक कला है—इसे बच्चे के अपने अनुभवों से जुड़ना चाहिए। बच्चे के संपूर्ण विकास के लिए, बुद्धि के साथ-साथ उसके दिल और इच्छाशक्ति तक पहुँचना भी ज़रूरी है।

The heart of the Waldorf method is that education is an art-it must speak to the child's experience. To educate the whole child, his heart and his will must be reached, as well as the mind.

दुनिया को सचमुच जानना है, तो अपने भीतर झाँककर देखिए; और खुद को सचमुच जानना है, तो इस दुनिया में गहरी दिलचस्पी लीजिए।

To truly know the world, look deeply within your own being; to truly know yourself, take real interest in the world.

अगर कोई बच्चा अपने खेल में अपनी पूरी भावना के साथ बाहरी दुनिया से जुड़ पाता है, तो वह जीवन के बाद के दौर में गंभीर ज़िम्मेदारियों को भी पूरे आत्मविश्वास और ताकत के साथ दुनिया की सेवा में समर्पित कर पाएगा।

If a child has been able in his play to give up his whole loving being to the world around him, he will be able, in the serious tasks of later life, to devote himself with confidence and power to the service of the world.

यह बहुत ज़रूरी है कि हम ऐसी शिक्षा प्रणाली खोजें जहाँ लोग सीखना सीख सकें और जीवनभर सीखते रहें

It is important that we discover an educational method where people learn to learn and go on learning their whole lives

जब इंसान किसी साझा उद्देश्य और एकता की तलाश में एक-साथ मिलते हैं, तो वे एक-दूसरे तक पहुँचने का रास्ता भी ढूँढ़ लेते हैं।

When human beings meet together seeking the spirit with unity of purpose then they will also find their way to each other.

सही जगह पर रखी गई छोटी से छोटी चीज़ भी बड़े से बड़े लक्ष्यों तक पहुँचा सकती है।

The smallest thing in its rightful place can lead to the highest goals.

वह कौन सी किताब है जिसमें एक शिक्षक यह पढ़ सके कि शिक्षण क्या है? खुद बच्चे ही यह किताब हैं। हमें किसी ऐसी किताब से पढ़ाना नहीं सीखना चाहिए जो हमारे सामने खुली हुई उस जीवंत किताब—यानी बच्चों—के अलावा कहीं और से आई हो।

Where is the book in which the teacher can read about what teaching is? The children themselves are this book. We should not learn to teach out of any book other than the one lying open before us and consisting of the children themselves.

हमारा सबसे बड़ा प्रयास ऐसे स्वतंत्र व्यक्तियों को विकसित करना होना चाहिए जो अपनी पहल पर अपने जीवन को उद्देश्य और दिशा दे सकें।

बाहरी दुनिया अपनी तमाम खूबसूरती और रूपों के साथ ईश्वरीय वैभव से भरी है, लेकिन अपने परिवेश में उस दिव्यता को देखने से पहले हमें उसे अपने भीतर महसूस करना होगा...

The outer world, with all its phenomena, is filled with divine splendour, but we must have experienced the divine within ourselves, before we can discover it in our environment

आने वाले भविष्य को लेकर हमारे मन में जो भी डर और आशंकाएं हैं, हमें उन्हें जड़ से उखाड़ फेंकना चाहिए... भविष्य को लेकर हमारे मन में जो भी भावनाएं हैं, उन्हें लेकर हमें शांत रहना चाहिए; जो भी हमारे सामने आने वाला है, उसका सामना पूरी स्थिरता और समभाव के साथ करना चाहिए, बस यही सोचते हुए कि जो भी होगा, वह ब्रह्मांड के कल्याणकारी मार्गदर्शन से ही हमारे पास आएगा।

We must eradicate root and branch any fear and dread in our soul concerning the future that is coming towards us... We must develop composure with regard to all the feelings and sensations we have about the future; we must anticipate with absolute equanimity whatever may be coming towards us, thinking only that whatever it may be will be brought to us by the wisdom-filled guidance of the universe.

श्रद्धा, उत्साह और एक संरक्षक होने का भाव—ये तीनों वास्तव में शिक्षक की आत्मा के लिए अचूक और जादुई नुस्खे हैं।

Reverence, enthusiasm, and a sense of guardianship, these three are actually the panacea, the magical remedy, in the soul of the educator and teacher.

प्रेम तब शुरू होता है जब हम अपने अहंकार को एक तरफ रखकर किसी और के लिए जगह बनाते हैं।

Love starts when we push aside our ego and make room for someone else.

हम में से हर एक के भीतर एक स्वतंत्र आत्मा बनने की क्षमता है, ठीक वैसे ही जैसे हर गुलाब की कली में एक पूरा गुलाब छिपा होता है।

Each one of us has it in themselves to be a free spirit, just as every rose bud has in it a rose.

हमें अपने भीतर इतनी विनम्रता विकसित करनी चाहिए कि हम यह स्वीकार कर सकें कि हम एक पल के लिए भी एक संपूर्ण इंसान नहीं बन जाते। इसके बजाय, जन्म से लेकर मृत्यु तक हमारा विकास निरंतर होता रहता है। हमें यह समझना होगा कि जीवन के हर दिन का एक विशेष महत्व है, और बिना किसी उद्देश्य के हम अपने बीसवें साल के तुरंत बाद अपने तीसवें साल में प्रवेश नहीं करते। हमें यह सीखना होगा कि हर नया दिन और हर नया वर्ष लगातार कुछ नया सिखाता है और खुलता है।

We must be educated in inner human modesty, so we can recognize that we are not, even for a moment, complete as human beings. Instead, we continue to develop from birth until death. We must recognize that every day of life has a special value, that it is not without purpose that we must learn to live through our thirties right after we have just gone through our twenties. We need to learn that each new day and each new year offers continual revelation.

विचार के लिए जो महत्व अंतर्दृष्टि (इंट्यूशन) का है, वही महत्व बोध के लिए अवलोकन (ऑब्ज़र्वेशन) का है। अंतर्दृष्टि और अवलोकन ही हमारे ज्ञान के स्रोत हैं।

मनुષ્ય कोई ऐसी चीज़ नहीं जो ठहर जाए, वह तो हमेशा विकास की प्रक्रिया में रहने वाला प्राणी है। वह जितना अधिक खुद को विकसित होने का अवसर देता है, उतना ही अपने सच्चे उद्देश्य को पूरा करता है।

दुनिया की हर बीमारी के लिए प्रकृति में कहीं न कहीं कोई औषधि मौजूद है। मेरा मानना है कि पौधों के भीतर एक उपचारक शक्ति छिपी होती है, जो उनके अपने विकास का अभिन्न हिस्सा है; ठीक वैसे ही जैसे प्रकृति के इस अद्भुत उपहार को पहचानना और उसका उपयोग करना सीखना मानव विकास का हिस्सा है।

For every human illness, somewhere in the world there exists a plant which is the cure. I believe that there is a healing potential locked inside plants which is integral with their evolution, just as it is part of human evolution to learn to tap this wonderful gift of Nature.

जो लोग अपने हाथों का इस्तेमाल हर तरह के कामों में कुशलता से करना नहीं जानते, वे कभी अच्छे विचारक नहीं बन पाते और जीवन में असहज महसूस करते हैं। केवल दिमाग ही नहीं, बल्कि पूरा इंसान ही एक तार्किक प्राणी होता है। बुनाई जैसे शारीरिक और हाथों की कुशलता वाले काम हमारी निर्णय लेने की क्षमता को बढ़ाते हैं। यह क्षमता वास्तव में तर्क के अभ्यासों से सबसे कम विकसित होती है।

People who are unable to use their hands skillfully for all kinds of work, will not become good thinkers and will behave awkwardly in life. It is not the head alone, but the whole human being that is a logician. Activities demanding manual and bodily skill, such as knitting, leads to the enhancement of the faculty of judgment. This faculty is actually developed least of all by exercises in logic.

सौंदर्य कोई ऐसा दैवीय रूप नहीं है जिसने भौतिक संसार का आवरण ओढ़ रखा हो, बल्कि यह तो भौतिक वास्तविकता है जिसने किसी दैवीय आवरण को धारण किया हुआ है। कलाकार दुनिया में उस divine (दिव्य) शक्ति को प्रवाहित करके उसे धरती पर नहीं लाता, बल्कि वह इस पूरी दुनिया को ही दैवीय चेतना के स्तर तक ऊपर उठा देता है।

Beauty is not the divine in a cloak of physical reality; no, it is physical reality in a cloak that is divine. The artist does not bring the divine on to the earth by letting it flow into the world; he raises the world into the sphere of the divine.

मिलकर काम करने वाले किसी भी मानव समुदाय में, समाज का कल्याण तभी सबसे अधिक होगा जब हर व्यक्ति अपने किए गए काम के पारिश्रमिक पर अपना अधिकार कम से कम जताए; यानी वह अपनी कमाई का अधिकांश हिस्सा अपने साथियों को सौंप दे, और उसकी अपनी ज़रूरतें उसके खुद के काम से नहीं, बल्कि दूसरों द्वारा किए गए काम से पूरी हों।

In a community of human beings working together, the well-being of the community will be the greater, the less the individual claims for himself the proceeds of the work he has himself done; i.e., the more of these proceeds he makes over to his fellow workers, and the more his own requirements are satisfied, not out of his own work done, but out of work done by the others.

सूर्य का स्नेहिल प्रकाश हर दिन मेरे लिए उजाला लाता है, और मेरी आत्मा की आध्यात्मिक शक्ति मेरे अंगों को बल देती है। हे ईश्वर! इस निर्मल चमकती धूप में मैं मानव मात्र की उस शक्ति को नमन करता हूँ, जिसे आपने मेरी आत्मा में बोया है, ताकि मैं पूरी ताकत से सीखने और काम करने से प्रेम कर सकूँ। तुझसे ही प्रकाश और बल की धारा बहती है, और तुझमें ही प्रेम और कृतज्ञता विलीन होती है।

The sun with loving light makes bright for me each day, the soul with spirit power gives strength unto my limbs. In sunlight shining clear I revere, Oh God, the strength of humankind, which thou has planted in my soul, that I may with all my might, may love to work and learn. From thee stream light and strength to thee rise love and thanks.

प्रकृति की हर आवाज़ के ज़रिए उसके रहस्य हमारे कानों में फुसफुसाने लगते हैं। जो ध्वनियाँ पहले हमारी आत्मा की समझ से परे थीं, वे अब प्रकृति की एक सार्थक भाषा बन जाती हैं।

All of nature begins to whisper its secrets to us through its sounds. Sounds that were previously incomprehensible to our soul now become the meaningful language of nature.

तारे कभी इंसानों से बात करते थे। यह दुनिया की नियति है कि आज वे मौन हैं। इस खामोशी को महसूस करना सांसारिक इंसान के लिए पीड़ादायक हो सकता है। लेकिन इस गहरी होती खामोशी के भीतर ही वह सब उगता और पकता है, जिसे इंसान सितारों से कहता है।

The stars spoke once to man. It is world destiny That they are silent now. To be aware of the silence Can become pain for earthly man. But in the deepening silence There grows and ripens What man speaks to the stars.

आपको अंदाजा भी नहीं है कि एक शिक्षक ऊपरी तौर पर क्या कहता है या क्या नहीं कहता, इसका कोई खास महत्व नहीं है; असल महत्व इस बात का है कि वह शिक्षक खुद बतौर इंसान क्या है।

You have no idea how unimportant is all that the teacher says or does not say on the surface, and how important what he himself is as teacher.

हर बुराई का एक ही साझा लक्षण है और वह है स्वार्थ... मूल रूप से इंसानों की हर बुराई उस चीज़ से आती है जिसे हम स्वार्थ कहते हैं।

The common trait of all evil is nothing other than egoism... Basically all human evil comes from what we call the selfishness.

विनम्रता आत्मा में एक ऐसी संवेदनशील शक्ति को जगाती है जिसके माध्यम से हम अपने आस-पास के प्राणियों के उन गुणों को अपनी ओर आकर्षित कर लेते हैं, जो अन्यथा छिपे रहते हैं।

Reverence awakens in the soul a sympathetic power through which we attract qualities in the beings around us, which would otherwise remain concealed.

जब मनुष्य संगीत सुनता है, तो उसे एक सुकून और अपनेपन का अहसास होता है, क्योंकि ये स्वर उसके उस आध्यात्मिक घर के अनुभवों के साथ तालमेल बिठाते हैं जहाँ से वह आया है।

When the human being hears music, he has a sense of wellbeing, because these tones harmonize with what he has experienced in the world of his spiritual home.

आप केवल अपने मन, बुद्धि, आत्मा, हृदय, भावना और कल्पना की शक्तियों का उपयोग करके ही किसी गहराई तक पहुँच सकते हैं और निष्कर्ष निकाल सकते हैं। किसी चीज़ को 'आध्यात्मिक दृष्टि से देखने' का असली अर्थ यही है।

You'll be able to gain insight and reach a conclusion only by applying the powers of mind, intellect, soul, heart, spirit, and imagination. This is what 'looking at something spiritually' really means.

जब हम ध्यान (मेडिटेशन) के माध्यम से खुद को उस चेतना से जोड़ते हैं जो हमें आत्मा से मिलाती है, तो हम अपने भीतर एक ऐसी चीज़ को जाग्रत करते हैं जो शाश्वत है और जन्म-मृत्यु के बंधनों से परे है। एक बार जब हम अपने भीतर के इस अमर हिस्से का अनुभव कर लेते हैं, तो हम इसके अस्तित्व पर कभी संदेह नहीं कर सकते। इस प्रकार, ध्यान ही हमारे वजूद के उस शाश्वत, अविनाशी और मूल केंद्र को जानने और देखने का मार्ग है।

When we raise ourselves through meditation to what unites us with the spirit, we quicken something within us that is eternal and unlimited by birth and death. Once we have experienced this eternal part in us, we can no longer doubt its existence. Meditation is thus the way to knowing and beholding the eternal, indestructible, essential centre of our being.

जो व्यक्ति आध्यात्मिक जगत को अनुभव करता है, उसे यह पता होना चाहिए कि कई बार उसके सामने ऐसे कल्पना-चित्र (Imaginations) आते हैं जिन्हें वह शुरुआत में समझ नहीं पाता; उसे उन्हें बस स्वीकार करना होता है और अपनी आत्मा में उन्हें वैसे ही पकने देना होता है। आध्यात्मिक अनुभव में बहुत कुछ इस बात पर निर्भर करता है कि इंसान के पास अवलोकन करने का धैर्य हो, वह शुरुआत में चीज़ों को चुपचाप स्वीकार करे, और सही समय आने तक उन्हें समझने के लिए प्रतीक्षा करे।

He who perceives in the spiritual world must know that at times Imaginations are assigned to him which at first he must forego understanding; he must receive them as Imaginations and let them ripen in his soul as such. In spiritual experience, much depends on a man having the patience to make observations, at first to simply accept them, and to wait with understanding them until the right moment arrives.

ज्ञान प्राप्त करना ही मंजिल नहीं है, बल्कि मंजिल तक पहुँचने का एक साधन है; और वह मंजिल यह है कि उच्च लोकों के ज्ञान की बदौलत इंसान में एक गहरा और सच्चा आत्म-विश्वास, अधिक साहस, उदारता और ऐसी दृढ़ता पैदा हो सके जो आमतौर पर इस निचले संसार में हासिल नहीं की जा सकती।

Acquisition of knowledge is not the end, but the means to the end; the end consists in the attainment, thanks to this knowledge of the higher worlds, of greater and truer self-confidence, a higher degree of courage, and a magnanimity and perseverance such as cannot, as a rule, be acquired in the lower world.

The task of art is to take hold of the shining, the radiance, the manifestation, of that which as spirit weaves and lives throughout the world. All genuine art seeks the spirit. Even when art wishes to represent the ugly, the disagreeable, it is concerned, not with the sensory - disagreeable as such, but with the spiritual which proclaims its nature in the midst of unpleasantness. If the spiritual shines through the ugly, even the ugly becomes beautiful. In art it is upon a relation to the spiritual that beauty depends.

In diabetes mellitus the case is as follows: the ego-organization, as it submerges in the astral and etheric realm, is so weakened that it can no longer effectively accomplish its action upon the sugar-substance. The sugar then undergoes the processes in the astral and etheric realms which should take place in the ego-organization.... From all this we see that a real healing process for diabetes mellitus can only be initiated if we are in a position to strengthen the ego-organization of the patient.

पुनर्जन्म का इंकार करने वाले विचार अगले जन्म में एक आंतरिक अवास्तविकता, जीवन के एक आंतरिक खालीपन में बदल जाते हैं; इस आंतरिक अवास्तविकता और खालीपन को यातना और असांजस्य के रूप में अनुभव किया जाता है।

Thoughts that deny reincarnation are transformed in the next life into an inner unreality, an inner emptiness of life; this inner unreality and emptiness are experienced as torment, as disharmony.

जब मैं पिंजरे में बंद उस पक्षी को देखता हूँ, तो मुझे हवा दिखाई देती है—न केवल वह हवा जो उड़ते समय पक्षी के आसपास होती है, बल्कि मुझे उसके रूप में हवा की निर्माण करने की प्रवृत्ति भी दिखाई और महसूस होती है। जब मैं यह सब करता हूँ, तब रूपों में जो कुछ भी जीवित है, वह मेरे लिए सजीव और आध्यात्मिक हो जाता है।

I look at the bird in the cage and see the air, not only the air that is around the bird when it flies, but I see and feel the formative tendency of air in its form. When I do all this, then what lives in the forms becomes enlivened and spiritualized for me.

समझने का कार्य किसी ऐसी चीज़ को वैचारिक रूप में दोहराना नहीं है जो पहले से ही मौजूद है, बल्कि एक पूरी तरह से नए दायरे का निर्माण करना है, जो हमारी इंद्रियों को दी गई दुनिया के साथ मिलकर वास्तविकता की पूर्णता का गठन करता है।

The task of understanding is not to replicate in conceptual form something that already exists, but rather to create a wholly new realm, that together with the world given to our senses constitutes the fullness of reality.

बार-बार कोई यह सुन सकता है: यह मेरी राय है, मैं ऐसा या वैसा सोचता हूँ... मानो इससे कोई फर्क पड़ता हो कि कोई क्या सोचता है! असल बात तो यह है कि सत्य क्या है!

Again and again one can listen: this is my opinion, I think this or that... As if it matters, what one or the other thinks! The point is much more to what the truth is!

यदि पिछले कुछ वर्षों में गणित के पाठों के दौरान लोगों ने सही तरीके से अपनी आत्मा को गणित से ओत-प्रोत करना सीख लिया होता, तो आज पूर्वी यूरोप में बोलशेविज़्म न होता।

If men had known how to permeate the soul with mathematics in the right way in the arithmetic lessons during these past years, we should not now have Bolshevism in Eastern Europe.

आज मिस्र के विचारों से कुछ निश्चित विचार विकसित हो रहे हैं। आज जिसे डार्विनवाद कहा जाता है, वह बाहरी कारणों से उत्पन्न नहीं हुआ था। हम वही आत्माएँ हैं, जिन्होंने मिस्र में मानव पूर्वजों के पशु रूपों के चित्रों को प्राप्त किया था। पुरानी दृष्टियाँ फिर से जागृत हो चुकी हैं, लेकिन मनुष्य भौतिक दुनिया में और अधिक गहराई तक उतर चुका है।

Today certain definite ideas are developing out of the Egyptian ideas. What is called Darwinism today did not arise because of external reasons. We are the same souls who, in Egypt, received the pictures of the animal forms of man's forebears. The old views have awakened again, but man has descended more deeply into the material world.

भगवद्गीता जैसी महान रचना को पूरी समझ के साथ देखने के लिए यह आवश्यक है कि हम अपनी आत्मा को उसके अनुरूप ढालें।

In order to approach a creation as sublime as the Bhagavad-Gita with full understanding it is necessary to attune our soul to it.

कोई जाति या राष्ट्र तब बहुत ऊँचा होता है, जब उसके सदस्य शुद्ध, आदर्श मानवीय प्रकार को अधिक पूर्णता से व्यक्त करते हैं... उच्चतर राष्ट्रीय और नस्लीय रूपों में पुनर्जन्म के माध्यम से मनुष्य का विकास इस प्रकार एक आदर्श भविष्य की ओर ले जाने वाली मुक्ति की प्रक्रिया है।

A race or nation stands so much the higher, the more perfectly its members express the pure, ideal human type ... The evolution of man through the incarnations in ever higher national and racial forms is thus a process of liberation [leading to] an ideal future.

पूर्णिमा से अमावस्या तक की ये चौदह कलाएँ (चरण) भी अपना परिणाम लाती हैं, और मिस्र की चेतना के लिए यह परिणाम आइसिस के माध्यम से प्राप्त हुआ था। इन चौदह चरणों पर आइसिस का शासन है।

These fourteen phases from full moon to new also have their result, and for the Egyptian consciousness this result was achieved through Isis. These fourteen phases are ruled by Isis.

जब मनुष्य का सामना मनुष्य से होता है, तो एक दूसरे को सुलाने का प्रयास करता है और दूसरा लगातार अपनी रीढ़ सीधी रखना चाहता है। लेकिन गोएथे के दृष्टिकोण से कहें तो, यह समाज विज्ञान की मूल घटना है। इस सुला देने की प्रक्रिया को हम सामाजिक सिद्धांत कह सकते हैं, नए युग की सामाजिक प्रेरणा कह सकते हैं: हमें दूसरे के भीतर जीना होता है; हमें अपनी आत्मा के साथ दूसरे में घुल-मिल जाना होता है।

When man faces man the one attempts to put the other to sleep and the other continuously wants to maintain his uprightness. But this is, to speak in the Goethean sense, the archetypal phenomenon of social science. This sleeping-into we may call the social principle, the social impulse of the new era: we have to live over into the other; we have to dissolve with our soul into the other.

ये दुनियाएँ सघनता के बढ़ते चरणों को दर्शाती हैं, जो पदार्थ में आत्मा का नीचे की ओर उतरना है, जहाँ मार्ग कठिन और लंबा हो जाता है।

The worlds represent increasing phases of densification, the involuting descent of spirit into matter, where the way becomes harder and longer.

गोएथे की सोच अनम्य रूपरेखाओं से जड़ी हुई कठोर नहीं थी; यह एक ऐसी सोच थी जिसमें अवधारणाएँ निरंतर रूप बदलती रहती हैं।

Goethe's thinking was not rigid with inflexible contours; it was a thinking in which the concepts continually metamorphose.

आप एक काफी युवा खेत-चूहे को पकड़ें और उसकी खाल उतार लें... जब शुक्र ग्रह वृश्चिक राशि में हो, तो हम उस खाल को लेते हैं और उसे जला देते हैं... अब उस राख को लें, जो आपको इस तरह मिली है, और खेतों में छिड़क दें।

You catch a fairly young field-vole and flay it... We take the skin, when Venus stands in the sign of the scorpion, and combust the skin... Now take the ash, which you got this way, and pepper it out on the fields.

यह वर्तमान कला की मृत्यु है जब वह बार-बार मॉडल के पास लौटती है। मॉडल का उपयोग कलात्मक विकास में केवल एक मध्यवर्ती चरण है। हर प्राकृतवादी चीज़ पर पार पाने के लिए एक जीवंत अध्यात्म से सृजन करें।

It is the death of present art when it returns again and again to the model. Use of the model is only an intermediate stage in artistic development. Create out of a living spirituality to overcome everything naturalistic.

जब हम उन चीज़ों का परीक्षण करने की ज़िम्मेदारी महसूस करते हैं जो हम कहते हैं और उन सीमाओं को खोजने की जो हमारे कहे की वैधता को तय करती हैं, तो हम अस्तित्व के प्रति अपनी मानवीय भावना के वास्तविक आंतरिक सुदृढ़ीकरण में योगदान दे रहे होते हैं।

When we feel an obligation to test the things we say and to find the boundaries within which what we say has validity, then we are contributing to a real inner consolidation of our human feeling for existence.

गणित के छात्र को सभी मनगढ़ंत विचारों से छुटकारा पाना चाहिए और पूरी तरह से विचार की माँगों का पालन करना चाहिए। इस तरह सोचने में, आध्यात्मिक दुनिया के नियम उसमें प्रवाहित होने लगते हैं। यह नियमित सोच सबसे बड़े आध्यात्मिक सत्यों की ओर ले जाती है।

The student of mathematics must get rid of all arbitrary thinking and follow purely the demands of thought. In thinking in this way, the laws of the spiritual world flow into him. This regulated thinking leads to the most spiritual truths.
