Advance like a hero. Do not be thwarted by anything. How many days will this body last, with its happiness and misery? When you have the human body, then rouse the Atman within and say-I have reached the state of fearlessness!...and then as long as the body endures, speak unto others this message of fearlessness: 'Thou art That', 'Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached'

I do not believe in eternal progress, that we are growing on ever and ever in a straight line. It is too nonsensical to believe. There is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle. The force sent out will complete the circle and return to its starting place.

It is nature that is driving us towards perfection, and eventually she will bring everyone there.

Stand as a rock; you are indestructible. You are the Self (atman), the God of the universe.

Many of us do not believe in any form of idolatry; but they have no right to object when others do it.

The subtle are the causes, the gross the effects.

March on, the Lord is our General.
