There is nothing mind can do that cannot be better done in the mind's immobility and thought-free stillness. When mind is still, then truth gets her chance to be heard in the purity of the silence.

That within us which seeks to know and to progress is not the mind but something behind it which makes use of it.

Care not for time and success. Act out thy part, whether it be to fail or to prosper.

India of the ages is not dead nor has she spoken her last creative word; she lives and has still something to do for herself and the human peoples.

The progressive growth of the finite consciousness of man towards this Self, towards the universal , the eternal, the infinite, in a word his growth into spiritual consciousness by the development of his ordinary ignorant natural being into an illumined divine nature, this is for Indian thinking the significance of life and the aim of human existance.

True knowledge is not attained by thinking. It is what you are; it is what you become.

There is the physical mind which is mechanical but the awareness which is the essential character (dharma) of the mind is also to some extent present there.
