. . . If you are really my children, you will fear nothing, stop at nothing. You will be like lions. We must rouse India and the whole world. No cowardice.

Who cares for your bhakti and mukti? Who cares what your scriptures say? I will go into a thousand hells cheerfully if I can rouse my countrymen, immersed in tamas, to stand on their own feet and be men inspired with the spirit of karma-yoga. I am a follower only of he or she who serves and helps others without caring for his own bhakti and mukti!

Are great things ever done smoothly? Time, patience, and indomitable will must show.

Persevere on, my brave lads, We have only just begun. Never despond! Never say enough!

Expansion is life. Love is expansion. Love is therefore the only law of life.

Give love, give help, give service, and give any little thing you can, but keep out barter.

Strength, strength it is that we want so much in this life, for what we call sin and sorrow have all one cause, and that is our weakness. With weakness comes ignorance, and with ignorance comes misery.
