Religion, in India, means realisation and nothing short of that.

It's the coward who says, 'This is fate'...It's the strong who stands up & says 'I will make my fate'

Seek no praise, no reward, for anything you do. No sooner do we perform a good action than we begin to desire credit for it. No sooner do we give money to some charity than we want to see our names blazoned in the papers. Misery must come as the result of such desires.

Forgive offences by the million. And if you love all unselfishly, all will by degrees come to love one another.

I have a message for the world, which I will deliver without fear and care for the future. To the reformers I will point out that I am a greater reformer than any one of them. They want to reform only little bits. I want root-and-branch reform.

We want the education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one's own feet.

You have no more anger when you are all love, bliss, infinite existence. . . .
