Who shall make me perfect? I am perfect already.

Last of all will come self-surrender. Then we shall be able to give ourselves up to the Mother. If misery comes, welcome; if happiness comes, welcome. Then, when we come up to this love, all crooked things shall be straight. There will be the same sight for the Brahmin, the Pariah, and the dog. Until we love the universe with samesightedness, with impartial, undying love, we are missing again and again. But then all will have vanished, and we shall see in all the same infinite eternal Mother.

We can have no conception of God higher than man, so our God is man, and man is God.

Know for certain that there is no power in the universe to injure us unless we first injure ourselves.

With eternal faith in Him, set fire to the mountain of misery that has been heaped upon India for ages - and it shall be burned down.

Love for yourselves means [in the end] love for everything.

When a man is perfect, he sees perfection in others. When he sees imperfection, it is his own mind projecting itself.
