Religion is being and becoming. Religion is the manifestation of the Divinity already in man.

When you talk and think of the Absolute, you have to do it in the relative; so all these logical arguments apply.

Man, therefore, according to the Vedanta philosophy, is the greatest being that is in the universe.

One way for attaining Bhakti is by repeating the name of God a number of times. Mantras have effect: the mere repetition of words.... To obtain Bhakti, seek the company of holy men who have Bhakti, and read books like the Gita and the Imitation of Christ; always think of the attributes of God.

The mind is but the subtle part of the body. You must retain great strength in your mind and words.

It is entirely wrong to think that we have done, or can do, good to the world, or to think that we have helped such and such people. It is a foolish thought, and all foolish thoughts bring misery. We think that we have helped some man and expect him to thank us, and because he does not, unhappiness comes to us. Why should we expect anything in return for what we do? Be grateful to the man you help, think of him as God. Is it not a great privilege to be allowed to worship God by helping our fellow men?

To give up the world is to forget the ego, to know it not at all - living in the body, but not of it.
