We are for ever trying to make our weakness look like strength, our sentiment like love, our cowardice like courage, and so on.

The Indian idea is that the soul is formless. Whatever is form must break some time or other.

Perfection can never be attained by work.

We must always remember that God is Love. "A fool indeed is he who, living on the banks of the Ganga, seeks to dig a little well for water. A fool indeed is the man who, living near a mine of diamonds, spends his life in searching for beads of glass." God is that mine of diamonds. We are fools indeed to give up God for legends of ghosts or flying hobgoblins. It is a disease, a morbid desire.

Jesus Christ was God - the Personal God become man. He has manifested Himself many times in different forms and these alone are what you can worship. God in His absolute nature is not to be worshipped. Worshipping such God would be nonsense. We have to worship Jesus Christ, the human manifestation, as God. You cannot worship anything higher than the manifestation of God. The sooner you give up the worship of God separate from Christ, the better for you.

The Older I grow, the more everything seems to me to lie in manliness. This is my new gospel

The development of man is a return to an original perfection.
