All is the Self or Brahman. The saint, the sinner, the lamb, the tiger, even the murderer, as far as they have any reality, can be nothing else, because there is nothing else.

The guiding motive of mankind should be charity towards men, charity towards all animals.

The world is a demon. It is a kingdom of which the puny ego is king. Put it away and stand firm.

First, believe in the world - that there is meaning behind everything.

The same fire that cooks a meal for us may burn a child, and it is no fault of the fire if it does so; the difference lies in the way in which it is used.

Man is to become divine by realizing the divine. Idols or temples, or churches or books, are only the supports, the help of his spiritual childhood.

Do not wait for anybody or anything. Do whatever you can. Build your hope on none.
