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

For one thing we may be grateful: this life is not eternal.

Let the mind be cheerful but calm. Never let it run into excesses, because every excess will be followed by a reaction.

Get away from all books and forms and let your soul see its Self. "We are deluded and maddened by books", Shri Krishna declares.

Every little bit, every atom inside the universe, is in a constant state of change and motion, but the universe as a whole is unchangeable, because motion or change is a relative thing; we can only think of something in motion in comparison with something which is not moving.

My children, the secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice.

Let the churches preach doctrines, theories, philosophies to their hearts' content, but when it comes to worship, the real practical part of religion, it should be as Jesus says, "When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret".
