The human intellect has not been able to conceive of anything more noble and sublime in the history of the world than the teachings of the Upanishads.

The practice of 'asanas' and 'pranayama' wards off disease and helps to maintain alertness.

Give up salt, give up sugar, give up spices, give up vegetables, give up chutnies, give up tamarind. Serve Bhangis, serve rogues, serve inferiors, remove faecal matter. Do not revenge, resist not evil, return good for evil, bear insult and injury. Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.

Modern civilisation is complicated and artificial. Simple folk live in a world of love and peace. Let no one hate another or harm another.

It is divinity that shapes, not only your ends, but also your acts, your words and thoughts.

Pain, sorrow, ignorance are all illusory; they cannot live. Bliss, joy, knowledge are true; they cannot die.

The goal of life is god realisation.
