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!

The difference between God and the devil is in nothing except in unselfishness and selfishness. The devil knows as much as God, is as powerful as God; only he has no holiness that makes him a devil. Apply the same idea to the modern world: excess of knowledge and power, without holiness, makes human beings devils.

Shri Krishna says: "Better die in your own path than attempt the path of another."

We must plunge heart and soul and body into the work. And until we are ready to sacrifice everything else to one Idea and to one alone, we never, never will see the Light.

Never producing pain by thought, word, and deed, in any living being, is what is called Ahimsâ, non-injury.

It is the calm, forgiving, equable, well-balanced mind that does the greatest amount of work.

Only those who want nothing are masters of Nature.
