Proselytism is tolerated by Hinduism. Any man, whether he be a Shudra or Chandala, can expound philosophy even to a Brahmin. The truth can be learnt from the lowest individual, no matter to what caste or creed he belongs.

If superstition enters, the brain is gone.

Whatever others think or do, lower not your standard of purity, morality and love of God.

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

You must keep a strict eye on your health; let everything else be subordinated to that.

Books are good but they are only maps. Reading a book by direction of a man I read that so many inches of rain fell during the year. Then he told me to take the book and squeeze it between my hands. I did so and not a drop of water came from it. It was the idea only that the book conveyed. So we can get good from books, from the temple, from the church, from anything, so long as it leads us onward and upward.

So long as there is desire or want, it is a sure sign that there is imperfection. A perfect, free being cannot have any desire.
