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

The coward, afraid of the lash, with one hand wipes his eyes and gives with the other. Of what avail are such gifts?

This ego - the less there is of it, the nearer I am to that which I really am: the universal body.

Look here — we shall all die! Bear this in mind always, and then the spirit within will wake up. Then only, meanness will vanish from you, practicality in work will come, you will get new vigour in mind and body, and those who come in contact with you will also feel that they have really got something uplifting from you.

If I am immune against all anger, I never feel angry.

According to this philosophy, each man consists of three parts - the body, the internal organ or the mind, and behind that, what is called the Atman, the Self.

Man is the nearest approach to Brahman.
