The present is determined by our past actions, and the future by the present.

Do you believe in that Infinite, good Providence working in and through you? If you believe that this Omnipresent One is present in every atom, is through and through, Ota-Prota, as the Sanskrit word goes, penetrating your body, mind and soul, how can you lose heart?

Go on saying, I am free. Never mind if the next moment delusion comes and says, I am bound. Dehypnotize the whole thing.

Perfection can be had by everybody.

He who has infinite patience and infinite energy at his back, will alone succeed.

My children, the secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice.
