Permanent
"Doubt what is doubtful. Trust what is certain. Doubt what is temporary. Trust what is permanent." [1]
What is permanent within you
"What is permanent within you is Knowledge. Your intellect is a vehicle for Knowledge. It is temporary. Knowledge is the permanent and the immortal part of you. To find a permanent life, you must venture beyond your temporary life. To find a permanent intelligence, you must be willing to pass through your temporary intelligence. Accept what is permanent and what is temporary here." [2]
Permanent accomplishment
"Each moment that you spend in sincere application furthers your progress tremendously and establishes a permanent advancement for you." [3]
"With each step you make in your unlearning, Knowledge will fill in that which had replaced it." [4]
"Knowledge ... will provide a comfort and a stability that the world can never change." [5]
"In the reclamation of your own wealth, the world will reclaim its wealth as well, for you shall stimulate Knowledge in all, and their wealth will begin to reveal itself in your presence and in the presence of Knowledge which guides you." [6]
Permanent relationship
"The fundamental understanding is the realization that you are already part of something that is established. The world does not demonstrate this, so you must know it within yourself. Knowing this, you realize you have a responsibility to a community that exists already. " [7]
