1. "Imbalance is an echo of chaos. Chaos is the antipode of organized matter and all living forms. Harmony, harmony, organization, number and measure lie at the foundation of every life..." [Facets of Agni Yoga 1963, 388]
2. "Man is a part of the Cosmos, a microcosm and, affirming the cosmic principle in himself and his principles, attaches himself to the macrocosm. Chaos is arrhythmic. Chaos is the opposite of law and order, that is, life. Every form of life is organized into a coherent whole of matter. The heartbeat is rhythmic, the breathing is rhythmic." [Facets of Agni Yoga 1961, 208]
3. "The creativity of the spirit consists in the struggle against the elements and un-manifested Chaos. The elements need to be curbed, and Chaos needs to be mastered in order for organized matter and its forms to manifest to life." [Facets of Agni Yoga 1959, 211]
4. "Organization and control over thinking are absolutely necessary. There are many things and questions that life itself makes you think about. You can think about them, but not more than they deserve. After having thought through the question to the end and made a decision, the question should immediately be removed from consciousness and replaced with next one. Tedious thinking about troublesome issues is caused by obsessive thoughts, which cannot be given power over consciousness, because they weaken and make unbalance." [Facets of Agni Yoga 1964, 139]
5. "Most harmful of all are the so-called involuntary thoughts. Every conscious thought is to a certain degree organized, but the little vagabonds, without any sense, obstruct the ways." [Agni Yoga, 345]
6. "Aspiration should be homogeneous and collected in one channel having one direction. In an instant, thousands of thoughts are born, and each one strives to carry consciousness with it. The harm of disorganized thinking is great. If the essence of all manifestations lies in thought, then what should be the culture of thought. The discipline of thought is the basic condition for [spiritual] advancement. And each of the subsequent gates opens with the edge of a sharpened thought, clear, polished and purposeful. After all, thought is the beginning of existence. That's why she has a special place." [Facets of Agni Yoga 1953, 51]
7. "Everyone thinks, but only a few can think clearly. Thinking is an art that requires a lot of ability and skill. Ordinary thinking is so disorderly and disorganized and so arrhythmic that it does not bear fruit. ...Someday humanity will come to the opportunity to consciously create with a united thought... The power of the coordinated collective thought of a people or the population of an entire planet is incredible." [Facets of Agni Yoga 1963, 352]
8. "The hardships of these times have resulted from disorganization. The cause of such disorganization is absurd in its insignificance – the cooperation of hearts has been forgotten." [Fiery World II, 280]
