The only test of goods things is that they make us strong.

The fault with all religions like Christianity is that they have one set of rules for all. But Hindu religion is suited to all grades of religious aspiration and progress. It contains all the ideals in their perfect form. For example, the ideal of Shanta or blessedness is to be found in Vasishtha; that of love in Krishna; that of duty in Rama and Sita; and that of intellect in Shukadeva. Study the characters of these and of other ideal men. Adopt one which suits you best.

It is a retarding element creating hatred and anger, and causing people to fight each other, and making them unsympathetic.

We have none of us seen a form which had not a beginning and will not have an end.

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

Never lose faith in yourself; you can do anything in the universe.

Wherever there is evil and wherever there is ignorance and want of knowledge, I have found out by experience that all evil comes, as our scriptures say, relying upon differences, and that all good comes from faith in equality, in the underlying sameness and oneness of things. This is the great Vedantic ideal.
