With sincerity and earnestness one can realize God through all religions. The Vaishnavas will realize God, and so will the Saktas, the Vedantists, and the Brahmos. The Mussalmans and Christians will realize Him too. All will certainly realize God if they are earnest and sincere.

As a toy fruit or a toy elephant reminds one of the real fruit and the living animal, so do the images that are worshipped remind one of the God who is formless and eternal.

Work, apart from devotion or love of God, is helpless and cannot stand alone.

Once a person has faith, he has achieved everything.

If you meditate on your ideal, you will acquire its nature. If you think of God day and night, you will acquire the nature of God.

The compassion that you see in the kindhearted is God's compassion. He has given it to them to protect the helpless.

What Brahman is cannot be described. All things in the world — the Vedas, the Puranas, the Tantras, the six systems of philosophy — have been defiled, like food that has been touched by the tongue, for they have been read or uttered by the tongue. Only one thing has not been defiled in this way, and that is Brahman. No one has ever been able to say what Brahman is.
