The nearer we are to God, the less we will have occasions to cry or weep. The further we are from God, the more will long faces come. The more we know God, the more misery vanishes.

The Vedanta teaches men to have faith in themselves first.

You must all pay attention to your health first.

Impurity is a mere superimposition under which your real nature has become hidden. But the real you is already perfect, already strong.

We are slaves in the hands of nature - slaves to a bit of bread, slaves to praise, slaves to blame, slaves to wife, to husband, to child, slaves to everything.

Nothing is gained except by sacrifice.... Do not degrade it to the level of the brutes.... Make yourselves decent men! ... Be chaste and pure! ... There is no other way. Did Christ find any other way?

We shall progress inch by inch.
