We must get out of materialism.

Shri Krishna says: "Better die in your own path than attempt the path of another."

Be a hero. Always say, 'I have no fear.' Tell this to everyone - 'Have no fear.'

With everything we do in life we identify ourselves. Here is a man who says harsh words to me. I feel anger coming on me. In a few seconds anger and I are one, and then comes misery. Attach yourselves to the Lord and to nothing else, because everything else is unreal. Attachment to the unreal will bring misery. There is only one Existence that is real, only one Life in which there is neither object nor [subject].

Man is the nearest approach to Brahman.

I am really not "cyclonic" at all. Far from it. What I want is not here, nor can I longer bear this "cyclonic" atmosphere. This is the way to perfection, to strive to be perfect, and to strive to make perfect a few men and women. My idea of doing good is this: to evolve out a few giants, and not to strew pearls before swine, and so lose time, health, and energy.

Many a time comes when we want to interpret our weakness and cowardice as forgiveness and renunciation.
