The best principles in our lives were those which we heard from our mothers through our ears.

The Church tries to fit Christ into it, not the Church into Christ.

What is salvation? To live with God. Where? Anywhere. Here this moment. One moment in infinite time is quite as good as any other moment.

To get any reason out of the mass of incongruity we call human life, we have to transcend our reason, but we must do it scientifically, slowly, by regular practice, and we must cast off all superstition.

Those that only take a nibble here and a nibble there will never attain anything ... Those who really want to be yogis must give up, once and for all, this nibbling at things. Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea.

The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.

Have faith in yourselves, be proud of your ancestors, instead of being ashamed of them.
