Children inherit the qualities of the parents, no less than their physical features. Environment does play an important part, but the original capital on which a child starts in life is inherited from its ancestors. I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul.

Ahimsa is the attribute of the soul, and therefore, to be practiced by everybody in all affairs of life. If it cannot be practiced in all departments, it has no practical value.

To see the universal and all-pervading Spirit of Truth face to face, one must be able to love the meanest of all creation as oneself.

The greatest menace to the world today is the growing, exploiting, irresponsible imperialism.

Service without humility is selfishness and egotism.

The greatest help you can give me is to banish fear from your hearts.

The force of the spirit is ever progressive and endless. Its full expression makes it unconquerable in the world.
