Bless people when they revile you. Think how much good they are doing by helping to stamp out the false ego. Hold fast to the real Self. Think only pure thoughts, and you will accomplish more than a regiment of mere preachers. Out of purity and silence comes the word of power.

However we may receive blows, and however knocked about we may be, the Soul is there and is never injured. We are that Infinite.

The one who actually succeeds in making himself believe that he is having a good time is the man of splendid physical health.

There will never be a perfectly good or bad world, because the very idea is a contradiction in terms.

The effect is delusion, and therefore the cause must be delusion.

Change can only be in the limited.

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!
