This is the secret of spiritual life: to think that I am the Atman and not the body, and that the whole of this universe with all its relations, with all its good and all its evil, is but as a series of paintings...scenes on a canvas...of which I am the witness.

The world is a demon. It is a kingdom of which the puny ego is king. Put it away and stand firm.

In India, religious life forms the centre, the keynote of the whole music of national life.

All growth, progress, well - being, or degradation is but relative.

It is the nature of the brute to remain where he is (not to progress); it is the nature of man to seek good and avoid evil; it is the nature of God to seek neither, but just to be eternally blissful. Let us be God!

If I am immune against all anger, I never feel angry.

Three things are necessary to make every man great,every nation great1.Conviction of the powers of goodness.2.Absence of jealousy and suspicion.3.Helping all who are trying to be and do good.
