Above all, India is the land of religion.

No freedom without renunciation.

Do not go for glass beads leaving the mine of diamonds. This life is a great chance. What, seekest thou the pleasures of the world? He is the fountain of all bliss. See for the highest, aim at that highest, and you shall reach the highest.

There is really no difference between matter, mind and Spirit. They are only different phases of experiencing the One.

This world is nothing. It is at best only a hideous caricature, a shadow of the Real. We must go to the Real. Renunciation will take us to It. Renunciation is the very basis of our true life; every moment of goodness and real life that we enjoy is when we do not think of ourselves.

Despondency is not religion, whatever else it may be.

The world has not gone one step beyond idolatry yet.
