This is the line of life, this is the line of growth, and this is the line of well-being in India - to follow the track of religion.

Strength is life, Weakness is death.

Man in his true nature is substance, soul, spirit.

Language is the chief means and index of a nation's progress.

See here, how fresh is the air, there is the Ganga, and the Sadhus (holy men) are practising meditation, and holding lofty talks! While the moment you will go to Calcutta, you will be thinking of nasty stuff.

Renounce and give up. What did Christ say? "He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it." Again and again did he preach renunciation as the only way to perfection.

Poverty is not a synonym for holiness; often the reverse.

A changeable God would be no God.
