We become forgetful of the ego when we think of the body as dedicated to the service of others - the body with which most complacently we identify the ego.

Man can become like God and acquire control over the whole universe if he multiplies infinitely his centre of self-consciousness.

Feel, my children, feel; feel for the poor, the ignorant, the downtrodden; feel till the heart stops and the brain reels and you think you will go mad; then pour the soul out at the feet of the Lord, and then will come power, help and indomitable energy.

The development of man is a return to an original perfection.

My child, what I want is muscles of iron and nerves of steel, inside which dwells a mind of the same material as that of which the thunderbolt is made.

Realize your true nature. That is all there is to do. Know yourself as you are - infinite Spirit. That is practical religion. Everything else is impractical, for everything else will perish.

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