If a thing happens once, it can happen again. If any human being has ever realised perfection, we too can do so. If we cannot become perfect here and now, we never can in any state or heaven or condition we may imagine.

Blows are what awaken us & help to break the dream. They show us the insufficiency of this world & make us long to escape, to have freedom.

Materialism has come to the rescue of India in a certain sense by throwing open the doors of life to everyone, by destroying the exclusive privileges of caste, by opening up to discussion the inestimable treasures which were hidden away in the hands of a very few who have even lost the use of them. Half has been stolen and lost; and the other half which remains is in the hands of men who, like dogs in the manger, do not eat themselves and will not allow others to do so.

The guiding motive of mankind should be charity towards men, charity towards all animals.

All progress and power are already in every man; perfection is man's nature, only it is barred in and prevented from taking its proper course.

Real freedom is not merely doing what you like, but also NOT doing what you like.

Each person tries to hold himself hss and lay the blame upon somebody or something else, or even on bad luck.
