The Gita is like a bouquet composed of the beautiful flowers of spiritual truths collected from the Upanishads.

These tremendous contradictions in our intellect, in our knowledge, yea, in all the facts of our life face us on all sides.

Expansion is life, contraction is death. Love is life, hatred is death.

Any time you attempt to make a God beyond Christ, you murder the whole thing. God alone can worship God.

My name should not be made prominent. It is my ideas that I want to see realized. The disciples of all the prophets have always inextricably mixed up the ideas of the Master with person, and at last killed the ideas for the person. The disciples of Sri Ramakrishna must guard against doing the same thing. Work for the idea, not the person.

Science and religion will meet and shake hands.

Prana, according to the Vedanta, is the principle of life. It is like ether, an omnipresent principle; and all motion, either in the body or anywhere else, is the work of this Prana. It is greater than Akasha, and through it everything lives. Prana is in the mother, in the father, in the sister, in the teacher, Prana is the knower.
