What we want is muscles of iron and nerves of steel. We have wept long enough. No more weeping, but stand on your feet and be men. It is man-making theories that we want. It is man-making education all round that we want.

You never hear of a mother cursing the child; she is forgiving, always forgiving.

The very idea of an infinite in place would be a contradiction in terms, as a place must begin and continue in time.

Man's experience in the world is to enable him to get out of its whirlpool.

Until we realise ourselves as the Absolute, we cannot attain to deliverance.

Chastity, non-injury, forgiving even the greatest enemy, truth, faith in the Lord, these are all different Vrittis. Be not afraid if you are not perfect in all of these; work, they will come. He who has given up all attachment, all fear, and all anger, he whose whole soul has gone unto the Lord, he who has taken refuge in the Lord, whose heart has become purified, with whatsoever desire he comes to the Lord, He will grant that to him. Therefore worship Him through knowledge, love, or renunciation.

The coward is an object to be pitied.
