true power is in becoming power.
The sages, in order to develop personal power,
gave one key, and that is the key to the whole mystery:
the control of impulse, every impulse, whatever it may be.
Man is powerless in spite of the power which is hidden in him.
The powerlessness, the experience of being powerless,
is the ignorance of the power within him.

The power of the word is indeed great,
but the power of silence is still greater.
Every kind of power lies in this one thing
that we call by the simple name: love.
There is no power greater than love.
Verily, spirit has all the power there is.
One discovers within oneself the same power
that makes the planets revolve on their axes,
and gravitate around the suns,
the same power that moves the sap in the trees,
and the power of the storms,
and of the sea and of the winds;
the same power inhabits the human being.
When one touches upon that power impersonally,
when one experiences oneself as the impersonal wave of that ocean,
as the instrument of that tremendous power,
one is able to accomplish things
that one could not do on one's own strength.
