He who has no faith in himself can never have faith in God.

Your way is the best for you, but that is no sign it is the best for another.

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.

After every happiness comes misery; they may be far apart or near. The more advanced the soul, the more quickly does one follow the other. What we want is neither happiness nor misery. Both make us forget our true nature; both are chains-one iron, one gold; behind both is the Atman, who knows neither happiness nor misery. These are states, and states must ever change; but the nature of the Atman is bliss, peace, unchanging. We have not to get it, we have it; only wash away the dross and see it.

I stand for truth. Truth will never ally itself with falsehood. Even if all the world should be against me, Truth must prevail in the end.

To realize the spirit as spirit is practical religion. Everything else is good so far as it leads to this one grand idea.
