When we free ourselves from name and form, especially from a body - when we need no body, good or bad - then only do we escape from bondage. Eternal progression is eternal bondage; annihilation of form is to be preferred. We must get free from any body, even a "god-body". God is the only real existence, there cannot be two. There is but One Soul, and I am That.

Give everything and look for no return.

The body must be properly taken care of. The people who torture their flesh are demoniacal.

Every time you think of doing some charity, you think there is some beggar to take your charity. If you say, "O Lord, let the world be full of charitable people!" - you mean, let the world be full of beggars also. Let the world be full of good works - let the world be full of misery. This is out-and-out slavishness!

Man's experience in the world is to enable him to get out of its whirlpool.

You will be nearer to Heaven through foot ball than through study of Gita.

Man cannot live upon words, however he may try.
