The animal man lives in the senses. If he does not get enough to eat, he is miserable; or if something happens to his body, he is miserable. In the senses both his misery and his happiness begin and end.

There is no salvation for man until he sees God, realises his own soul.

The greatest sin is to think yourself weak

Each soul is a star and all stars are set in the infinite azure, the eternal sky-the Lord.

One may gain political and social independence, but if one is a slave to his passions and desires, one cannot feel the pure joy of real freedom

To succeed, you must have tremendous perserverance... tremendous will. "I will drink the ocean", says the perservering soul; at my will mountains will crumble. Have that sort of energy, that sort of will; work hard, and you will reach the goal.

Karma is the eternal assertion of human freedom. . . . Our thoughts, our words, and deeds are the threads of the net which we throw around ourselves.
