By work alone, men may get to where Buddha got largely by meditation or Christ by prayer. Buddha was a working Jnani, Christ was a Bhakta, but the same goal was reached by both of them. Good motives, sincerity, and infinite love can conquer the world. One single soul possessed of these virtues can destroy the dark designs of millions of hypocrites and brutes.

In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart.

My faith is in the younger generation, the modern generation. Out of them will come my workers. They will work out the whole problem like lions

If you want to be a yogi, you must be free, and place yourself in circumstances where you are alone and free from all anxiety.

While real perfection is only one, relative perfections must be many.
