The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves.

We must approach religion with reverence and with love, and our heart will stand up and say, this is truth, and this is untruth.

Do not fret because the world looks with suspicion at every new attempt, even though it be in the path of spirituality.

Internal and external nature, mind and matter, are in time and space, and are bound by the law of causation.

The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.

The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.

My son, there is no rest for me. That which Sri Ramakrishna called "Kali" took possession of my body and soul three or four days before his passing away. That makes me work and work and never lets me keep still or look to my personal comfort.
