This world is not for cowards.

The Absolute cannot be worshipped, so we must worship a manifestation.

I am proud to call myself a Hindu, I am proud that I am one of your unworthy servants. I am proud that I am a countryman of yours, you the descendants of the sages, you the descendants of the most glorious Rishis the world ever saw. Therefore have faith in yourselves, be proud of your ancestors, instead of being ashamed of them.

In Shankaracharya we saw tremendous intellectual power, throwing the scorching light of reason upon everything.

As long as we require someone else to make us happy, we are slaves.

None of us have yet seen an ideally perfect man, and yet without that ideal we cannot progress.

No effect of work can be eternal.
