The past was great no doubt, but I sincerely believe that the future will be more glorious still.

What we call powers, secrets of nature, and force, are all within. In the external world are only a series of changes.

The animal has its happiness in the senses, the human beings in their intellect, and the gods in spiritual contemplation. It is only to the soul that has attained to this contemplative state that the world really becomes beautiful.

He who always thinks himself as weak will never become strong, but he who knows himself to be a lion, rushes out from the worlds meshes, as a lion from its cage.

The Self when it appears behind the universe is called God. The same Self when it appears behind this little universe-the body-is the soul.

Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.

Every idea has to become broad till it covers the whole of this world, every aspiration must go on increasing till it has engulfed the whole of humanity, nay, the whole of life, within its scope.
