One makes mistakes; that is life. But it is never a mistake to have loved.

It is not peace that I seek, but life.

Everything is music for the born musician.

Take possession of the air, submit the elements, penetrate the last redoubts of nature, make space retreat, make death retreat.

Religious faith in the case of the Hindus has never been allowed to run counter to scientific laws, moreover the former is never made a condition for the knowledge they teach, but there are always scrupulously careful to take into consideration the possibility that by reason both the agnostic and atheist may attain truth in their own way. Such tolerance may be surprising to religious believers in the West, but it is an integral part of Vedantic belief.
