Be not in despair, the way is very difficult, like walking on the edge of a razor; yet despair not, arise, awake, and find the ideal, the goal.

We want to know in order to make ourselves free. That is our life: one universal cry for freedom.

Shri Krishna says: "Better die in your own path than attempt the path of another."

To the Indian mind there is nothing higher than religious ideals, that this is the keynote of Indian life.

The fact is that we have many superstitions, many bad spots and sores on our body - these have to be excised, cut off, and destroyed - but these do not destroy our religion, our national life, our spirituality. Every principle of religion is safe, and the sooner these black spots are purged away, the better the principles will shine, the more gloriously. Stick to them.

It is the hero alone, not the coward, who has liberation within his easy reach.

The power of purity-it is a definite power.
