Restraint never ruins one's health. What ruins it,is not restraint but outward suppression. A really self-restrained person grows every day from strength to strength and from peace to more peace. The very first step in self-restraint is the restraint of thoughts.

Mine is not a religion of the prison-house. It has room for the least among God's creation.

I do not want any patronage, as I do not give any. I am a lover of my own liberty, and so I would do nothing to restrict yours. I simply want to please my own conscience which is God.

I have no disciples, being myself an aspirant after discipleship and in search of a guru.

Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected.

Never own defeat in a sacred cause and make up your minds henceforth that you will be pure and that you will find a response from God.

It is my great misfortune that I have to measure your love by the money gifts you give for Daridranarayana.
