Only when a man sees this universe as God does the veil fall from his eyes; then that man, purified and cleansed, finds his whole vision changed.

Struggle hard and then if you do not succeed, you are not to blame. Let the world praise or blame you. Let all the wealth of the earth come to your feet, or let you be made the poorest on earth. Let death come this moment or hundreds of years hence. Swerve not from the path you have taken. All good thoughts are immortal and go to make Buddhas and Christs.

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!

Self-sacrifice, not self-assertion, is the law of the highest universe.

When once you consider an action, do not let anything dissuade you. Consult your heart, not others, and then follow its dictates.

Whatever others think or do, lower not your standard of purity, morality and love of God.

Religion is the one and sole interest of the people of India.
