The Hindus have to learn a little bit of materialism from the West and teach them a little bit of spirituality.

"The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." Where goest thou to seek for the Kingdom of God, asks Jesus of Nazareth, when it is there, within you? Cleanse the spirit, and it is there. It is already yours. How can you get what is not yours? It is yours by right. You are the heirs of immortality, sons of the Eternal Father.

We are the living devils.

Books are infinite in number and time is short. The secret of knowledge is to take what is essential. Take that and try to live up to it.

I do not believe in eternal progress, that we are growing on ever and ever in a straight line. It is too nonsensical to believe. There is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle. The force sent out will complete the circle and return to its starting place.

Charity is great, but the moment you say it is all, you run the risk of running into materialism.

Be grateful that the poor man is there, so that by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself
