All the superior religions had their growth between the Ganga and the Euphrates.

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

If religion and life depend upon books or upon the existence of any prophet whatsoever, then perish all religion and books! Religion is in us. No books or teachers can do more than help us to find it, and even without them we can get all truth within. You have gratitude for books and teachers without bondage to them; and worship your Guru as God, but do not obey him blindly; love him all you will, but think for yourself. No blind belief can save you, work out your own salvation. Have only one idea of God - that He is an eternal help.

You have no more anger when you are all love, bliss, infinite existence. . . .

Self-sacrifice, not self-assertion, is the law of the highest universe.
