In one sense Brahman is known to every human being; he knows, "I am"; but man does not know himself as he is.

Too early religious advancement of the Hindus and that superfineness in everything which made them cling to higher alternatives, have reduced them to what they are. The Hindus have to learn a little bit of materialism from the West and teach them a little bit of spirituality.

The forms are evanescent; but the spirit, being in the Lord and of the Lord, is immortal and omnipresent.

The forms have value only so far as they are expressions of the life within. If they have ceased to express life, crush them out without mercy.

Siva, O Siva, carry my boat to the other shore!

I am responsible for my fate, I am the bringer of good unto myself, I am the bringer of evil. I am the Pure and Blessed One. We must reject all thoughts that assert to the contrary.

To the Indian mind there is nothing higher than religious ideals, that this is the keynote of Indian life.
