There is no help for you outside of yourself; you are the creator of the universe. Like the silkworm you have built a cocoon around yourself.... Burst your own cocoon and come out as the beautiful butterfly, as the free soul. Then alone you will see Truth.

Neither money pays, nor name pays, nor fame, nor learning; it is CHARACTER that cleave through adamantine walls of difference.

In every attempt there will be one set of men who will applaud, and another who will pick holes. Go on doing your own work, what need have you to reply to any party?

It's the coward who says, 'This is fate'...It's the strong who stands up & says 'I will make my fate'

I am a slave of Ramakrishna, who left his work to be done by me and will not give me rest till I have finished it. And oh, how shall I speak of him? Oh, his love for me!

If you have knowledge and see a man weak, do not condemn him. Go to his level and help him if you can. He must grow.

I have come to this conclusion that there is only one country in the world which understands religion - it is India.
