If people but knew their own religion, how tolerant they would become, and how free from any grudge against the religion of others.

I had composed songs, I sang, and played the vina. Practising this music I arrived at a stage where I touched the music of the spheres. Then every soul became a musical note, and all life became music. Inspired by it I spoke to the people, and those who were attracted by my words listened to them instead of listening to my songs.

All names and forms are the garbs and covers under which the one life is hidden.

The soul of all is one soul and the truth is one truth, under whatever religion it is hidden.

If there is anything that gives kingliness to the soul, it is patience. What was the secret of the masters who have accomplished great things, who have inspired many and who have helped many souls? Their secret was patience.

Repose is the secret of all contemplation and meditation, the secret of getting in tune with that aspect of life which is the essence of all things. When one is not accustomed to take repose, one does not know what is behind one's being.

If you will not rise above the things of this world, they will rise above you.
