See what an atmosphere of holiness is here the pure air of the Ganga what an assemblage of Sadhus will you find anywhere a place like this!

I hate this world, this dream, this horrible nightmare, with its churches and chicaneries, its books and blackguardisms, its fair faces and false hearts, its howling righteousness on the surface and utter hollowness beneath and, above all, its sanctified shopkeeping!

Every one wants to command, and no one wants to obey; and this is owing to the absence of that wonderful brahmacharya system of yore. First, learn to obey. The command will come by itself. Always first learn to be a servant, and then you will be fit to be a master.

There is one thing to be remembered: that the assertion 'I am God' cannot be made with regard to the sense-world.

Strength is life, Weakness is death.

Change is inherent in every form.

The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause.
