There cannot be a cause without an effect, the present must have had its cause in the past and will have its effect in the future.

Are great things ever done smoothly? Time, patience, and indomitable will must show.

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

The road to salvation is through truth.

To work with undaunted energy! What fear! Who is powerful enough to thwart you.

Chastity, non-injury, forgiving even the greatest enemy, truth, faith in the Lord, these are all different Vrittis. Be not afraid if you are not perfect in all of these; work, they will come. He who has given up all attachment, all fear, and all anger, he whose whole soul has gone unto the Lord, he who has taken refuge in the Lord, whose heart has become purified, with whatsoever desire he comes to the Lord, He will grant that to him. Therefore worship Him through knowledge, love, or renunciation.

Chemistry ceases to improve when one element is found from which all others are deductible. Physics ceases to progress when one force is found of which all others are manifestations. So religion ceases to progress when unity is reached, which is the case with Hinduism.
