If there is inequality in nature, still there must be equal chance for all - or if greater for some and for some less - the weaker should be given more chance than the strong. In other words, a Brahmin is not so much in need of education as a Chandala. If the son of a Brahmin needs one teacher, that of a Chandala needs ten. For greater help must be given to him whom nature has not endowed with an acute intellect from birth. It is a madman who carries coals to Newcastle. The poor, the downtrodden, the ignorant, let these be your God.

All the forces that are working in this body have been produced out of food; we see that every day.

Impurity is a mere superimposition under which your real nature has become hidden. But the real you is already perfect, already strong.

In every man and in every animal, however weak or wicked, great or small, resides the same omnipresent, omniscient soul. The difference is not in the soul, but in the manifestation. Between me and the smallest animal, the difference is only in manifestation, but as a principle he is the same as I am, he is my brother, he has the same soul as I have. This is the greatest principle that India has preached.

All the powers in the universe are already ours.

Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind...what we sow is what we reap.

The greatest truths are the simplest things in the world, simple as your own existence.
