I am neither the mind, nor the intellect, nor the ego, nor the mind-stuff

The man who becomes angry never does a great amount of work, and the man whom nothing can make angry accomplishes so much.

What we call powers, secrets of nature, and force, are all within. In the external world are only a series of changes.

I do not care what philosophy you take up; only I am ready to prove here that throughout the whole of India, there runs a mutual and cordial string of eternal faith in the perfection of humanity, and I believe in it myself. And let that faith be spread over the whole land.

To give up the world is to forget the ego, to know it not at all - living in the body, but not of it.

Each one of us pray, day and night, for the downtrodden millions in India, who are held fast by poverty, priest craft, and tyranny - pray day and night for them. I am no meta physician, no philosopher, nay, no saint. But I am poor, I love the poor.... Let these people be your God - think of them, work for them, pray for them incessantly - the Lord will show you the way.

All objective pleasure in the long run must bring pain, because of the fact of change or death.
