The soul's illness is more terrible and more difficult to understand than the illness of the body or any other type of malady.

The duty that we owe to the Universe is our religion.

Physically you are identical with and inseparable from the cosmic material substance, and socially you are inseparable from the large mass of humanity.

We are in conflict with the world; otherwise, there would be no necessity to put forth tremendous effort to meet the world and its demands.

That higher awakening is called God-consciousness. In that condition, you will see that all the objects of the world are your own universal self.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that the soul is inside you, because if the soul is inside you, you will be outside it.

What man needs is not philosophy or religion in the academic or formalistic sense of the term, but ability to think rightly. The malady of the age is not absence of philosophy or even irreligion but wrong thinking and a vanity which passes for knowledge. Though it is difficult to define right thinking, it cannot be denied that it is the goal of the aspirations of everyone.
