Hold to the idea, "I am not the mind, I see that I am thinking, I am watching my mind act," and each day the identification of yourself with thoughts and feelings will grow less, until at last you can entirely separate yourself from the mind and actually know it to be apart from yourself.

The man who becomes angry never does a great amount of work, and the man whom nothing can make angry accomplishes so much.

Through practice comes Yoga, through Yoga comes knowledge, through knowledge love, and through love bliss.

Be strong, my young friends; that is my advice to you.

Always keep the mind cheerful. Everyone will die once. Cowards suffer the pangs of death again and again, solely due to the fear in their own minds.

It is only work that is done as freewill offering to humanity and to nature that does not bring with it any binding attachment.

I remember that grand word of the Katha Upanishad - Shraddhâ or marvellous faith. An instance of Shraddha can be found in the life of Nachiketâ. To preach the doctrine of Shraddha or genuine faith is the mission of my life. Let me repeat to you that this faith is one of the potent factors of humanity and of all religions. First, have faith in yourselves.
