Take any path you like; follow any prophet you like; but have only that method which suits your own nature, so that you will be sure to progress.

The Indian mind is first religious, then anything else. So this is to be strengthened.

I have long given up the idea of a little house on the Ganges, as I have not the money.

Every idea that strengthens you must be taken up and every thought that weakens you must be rejected.

Do not stand on a high pedestal and take 5 cents in your hand and say, here, my poor man, but be grateful that the poor man is there, so by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself.It is not the reciever that is blessed, but it is the giver.Be thankful that you are allowed to exercise your power of benevolence and mercy in the world, and thus become pure and perfect.

However we may receive blows, and however knocked about we may be, the Soul is there and is never injured. We are that Infinite.

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