In India, religious life forms the centre, the keynote of the whole music of national life.

Form and formless are intertwined in this world. The formless can only be expressed in form and form can only be thought with the formless.

All is the Self or Brahman. The saint, the sinner, the lamb, the tiger, even the murderer, as far as they have any reality, can be nothing else, because there is nothing else.

This life is a hard fact; work your way through it boldly, though it may be adamantine; no matter, the soul is stronger.

We must approach religion with reverence and with love, and our heart will stand up and say, this is truth, and this is untruth.

Whenever two particles come together, they are held by a certain attraction; and there will come a time when those particles will separate. This is the eternal law. So, wherever there is a body - either grosser or finer, either in heaven or on earth - death will overcome it.

Everything is substance plus name and form. Name and form come and go, but substance remains ever the same.
