Religion is not in fault.

In Buddha we had the great, universal heart and infinite patience, making religion practical and bringing it to everyone's door.

Love and charity for the whole human race, that is the test of true religiousness.

We have lost faith in ourselves. Therefore to preach the Advaita aspect of the Vedanta is necessary to rouse up the hearts of men, to show them the glory of their souls. It is therefore that I preach this Advaita, and I do so not as a sectarian, but upon universal and widely acceptable grounds.

The same power is in every man, the one manifesting more, the other less; the same potentiality is in everyone.

Infinite power of the spirit, brought to bear upon matter evolves material development, made to act upon thought evolves intellectuality, and made to act upon itself makes of man a God. First, let us be Gods, and then help other to be GOds. Be and Make. Let this be our motto.

The Hindus have to learn a little bit of materialism from the West and teach them a little bit of spirituality.
