One's everyday life is never capable of being separated from his spiritual being.

To shirk taking of vows betrays indecision and want of resolution.

One is ever young in the presence of the God of Truth, or Truth which is God.

My doctrine means that I must identify myself with life, with everything that lives, that I must share the majesty of life in the presence of God. The sum-total of this life is God. .. Man is not at peace with himself until he has become like unto God. The endeavor to reach this state is the supreme, the only ambition worth having. And this is self-realisation. This self-realisation is the subject of the Gita, as it is of all scriptures... to be a real devotee is to realise oneself. Self-realisation is not something apart.

It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us. This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good heart whatever they might have to say.

Let us work together for unity and love.

Do not concentrate on showing the misdeeds of the government, for we have to convert and befriend those who run it.
