In one of Gyanamata’s letters she quotes the following from the novel The Idyll of the White Lotus:

“The soul of man is immortal, and its future is the future of a thing whose growth and splendor has no limit.
“The principle which gives life dwells in us, and without us, is undying and eternally beneficent, is not heard or seen or smelt, but is perceived by the man who desires perception.
“Each man is his own absolute lawgiver, the dispenser of glory or gloom to himself; the decreer of his life, his reward, his punishment.” (Chapter VIII, p. 116)
She then states: “This is an exact statement of the truth.”
