Religion in India culminates in freedom.

Know this also to be one of the spiritual practices, a discipline for God - realisation. Its aim also is Self - realisation.

A perfect life is a contradiction in terms. Life itself is a state of continuous struggle between ourselves and everything outside. Every moment we are fighting actually with external nature, and if we are defeated, our life has to go. It is, for instance, a continuous struggle for food and air. If food or air fails, we die. Life is not a simple and smoothly flowing thing, but it is a compound effect. This complex struggle between something inside and the external world is what we call life. So it is clear that when this struggle ceases, there will be an end of life.

When the soul wants to depend upon nothing, not even upon life, that is the height of philosophy, the height of manhood.

To make a great future India, the whole secret lies in organization, accumulation of power, co-ordination of wills.

There is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle.

To be more free is the goal of all our efforts, for only in perfect freedom can there be perfection.
