The idol is the expression of religion.

He who was Shri Rama, whose stream of love flowed with resistless might even to the Chandala (the outcaste); Oh, who ever was engaged in doing good to the world though superhuman by nature, whose renown there is none to equal in the three worlds, Sita's beloved, whose body of Knowledge Supreme was covered by devotion sweet in the form of Sita. (part of A Hymn To Shri Ramakrishna)

Out of Mahat comes universal egoism.

Do not fret because the world looks with suspicion at every new attempt, even though it be in the path of spirituality.

You have heard that Christ said, 'My words are spirit and they are life'. So are my words spirit and life; they will burn their way into your brain and you will never get away from them!

We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. None else has the blame, none has the praise.

This life is a hard fact; work your way through it boldly, though it may be adamantine; no matter, the soul is stronger.
