It's the coward who says, 'This is fate'...It's the strong who stands up & says 'I will make my fate'

There is, however, only one idea of duty which has been universally accepted by all mankind, of all ages and sects and countries, and that has been summed up in a Sanskrit aphorism thus: "Do not injure any being; not injuring any being is virtue, injuring any being is sin."

Self-sacrifice, not self-assertion, is the law of the highest universe.

I am not talking about what every one of us means by love. Little namby-pamby love is lovely. Man rails in love with woman, and woman goes to die for man. The chances are that in five minutes John kicks Jane, and Jane kicks John. This is a materialism and no love at all. If John could really love Jane, he would be perfect that moment.

All these practices and struggles to become religious are only negative work, to take off the bars, and open the doors to that perfection which is our birthright, our nature.

Man can become like God and acquire control over the whole universe if he multiplies infinitely his centre of self-consciousness.

Never even attempt to disturb anyone's tendencies.
