90.  True thinking is impossible without reverence for knowledge.  The Teacher advises that knowledge be set as the basis for developing consciousness.  Point out that knowledge builds the path to the One Teaching.  Is it possible that humanity cannot comprehend that knowledge emanates from One Source?  Therefore the dividing line between knowledge and ignorance is the dividing line between light and darkness.  

129.  One must rebuild one's entire life for the new step in evolution.  This is impossible for one who is not ready to offer himself in spirit to earthly service.  In fact this offering is of greatest importance for the completion of one's earthly path.  From the most ancient precepts of Vedanta we know of this principle of liberation.    

275.  Vedanta correctly states that the spirit remains inviolable.  The fiery seed of spirit maintains its elementary wholeness because the essence of the elements is immutable.  But the emanations of the seed change with growth of consciousness.  One should understand that the seed of spirit is a fragment of the element of fire, and the energy accumulated around it is consciousness.  This means that Vedanta concerned itself mainly with the seed, whereas Buddhism spoke of the perfectment of its enveloping bodies.  Thus do the changeable and the unchanging coexist.

It is quite understandable that Buddha who directed humanity toward evolution taught the nature of that which changes, whereas Vedanta expounded the unchanging foundation.  You can add any chemical ingredient to a flame and thereby change its color and size, but the essential nature of fire will remain unchanged.   I do not see any contradiction between the basic principles of Vedanta and Buddhism.

255.  I affirm that fire of the heart purifies densest darkness.  But along with purification the fire of the heart is impregnated with the qualities of a magnet and thus it becomes the natural link with the macrocosm. 

402.  One must possess a certain courage to continue to create in  consonance of the major key majestic-mode!  Thus along the entire structure of life one must note deviation from every heroism.  And in the entire world cowardly malice distinguishes the adherents of darkness and chaos.  But the heart demands construction, for it knows how infectious is chaos---each decay generates further decay.    -M:  Heart 1932

290.  Denial of succession is ignorance.  The very quality of life, the actual realization of the path, have been founded on successiveness as an extension into infinity.  Quite often Hierarchy is represented as being finite--and from this issue all limitations and belittlements.  The magnitude of Hierarchy extends into infinity.      -M:  Fiery World 1934
