I am the thread that runs through all these pearls, and each pearl is a religion or even a sect thereof. Such are the different pearls, and God is the thread that runs through all of them; most people, however, are entirely unconscious of it.

Man as Atman is really free; as man he is bound, changed by every physical condition.

As long as a man thinks, this struggle must go on, and so long man must have some form of religion.

One thing I must tell you. Idolatry in India does not mean anything horrible. It is not the mother of harlots.

Have faith in Guru, in his teachings, and in the surety that you can get free. Think day and night that this universe is zero, only God is. Have intense desire to get free.

If you dare declare that you are free, free you are this moment. If you say you are bound, bound you will remain.

Accumulation of power is as necessary as its diffusion, or rather more so.
