So long as there is desire or want, it is a sure sign that there is imperfection. A perfect, free being cannot have any desire.

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

The Hindus have a peculiar slovenliness in business matters, not being sufficiently methodical and strict in keeping accounts etc.

This is the great fact: strength is life.

I have come to deal with principles. I have only to preach that God comes again and again, and that He came in India as Krishna, Rama, and Buddha, and that He will come again. It can almost be demonstrated that after each 500 years the world sinks, and a tremendous spiritual wave comes, and on the top of the wave is a Christ.

The Upanishads do not reveal the life of any teacher, but simply teach principles.

Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything.
