It is the nature of the brute to remain where he is (not to progress); it is the nature of man to seek good and avoid evil; it is the nature of God to seek neither, but just to be eternally blissful. Let us be God!

If there's a God, we must see him and if there's a soul we must perceive it. Otherwise, it's better not to believe.

Non-injuring has to be attained by him who would be free. No one is more powerful than he who has attained perfect non-injuring. No one could fight, no one could quarrel, in his presence. Yes, his very presence, and nothing else, means peace, means love wherever he may be. Nobody could be angry or fight in his presence. Even the animals, ferocious animals, would be peaceful before him.

The test of having ceased to be an idolater is: "When you say 'I', does the body come into your thought or not? If it does, then you are still a worshipper of idols."

We have wept enough. No more weeping, but stand on feet and be men.

The body is made by the thought that lies behind it. The body politic is thus the expression of national thought.

In Buddha we had the great, universal heart and infinite patience, making religion practical and bringing it to everyone's door.
