Changes in the universe are not in the Absolute; they are in nature.

The more you think of yourself as shining immortal spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free of matter, body, and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.

The body is mortal and the mind is mortal; both, being compounds, must die.

The more we grow in love and virtue and holiness, the more we see love and virtue and holiness outside. All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm (which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you. It is like the hydrostatic paradox, one drop of water can balance the universe.

We must always bear in mind that we are not going to be free, but are free already. Every idea that we are bound is a delusion.

Religion is the life of India, religion is the language of this country, the symbol of all its movements.

Meditation is a sort of prayer and prayer is meditation. The highest meditation is to think of nothing. If you can remain one moment without thought, great power will come.
