Be free; hope for nothing from anyone. I am sure if you look back upon your lives you will find that you were always vainly trying to get help from others which never came.

Calm and silent and steady work, and no newspaper humbug, no name-making, you must always remember.

If you dare declare that you are free, free you are this moment. If you say you are bound, bound you will remain.

Plunge into the world, and then, after a time, when you have suffered and enjoyed all that is in it, will renunciation come; then will calmness come. So fulfill your desire for power and everything else, and after you have fulfilled the desire, will come the time when you will know that they are all very little things; but until you have fulfilled this desire, until you have passed through that activity, it is impossible for you to come to the state of calmness, serenity, and self-surrender.

Never producing pain by thought, word, and deed, in any living being, is what is called Ahimsâ, non-injury.

If I am immune against all anger, I never feel angry.

How to transcend the senses without disturbing the health is what we want to learn.
