Real freedom is not merely doing what you like, but also NOT doing what you like.

If you want to be a yogi, you must be free, and place yourself in circumstances where you are alone and free from all anxiety. One who desires a comfortable and nice life and at the same time wants to realize the Self is like the fool who, wanting to cross the river, caught hold of a crocodile, mistaking it for a log of wood.

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

What makes a man stand up and work? Strength. Strength is goodness, weakness is sin.

If superstition enters, the brain is gone.

The Hindus have to learn a little bit of materialism from the West and teach them a little bit of spirituality.

The natural state of this universe is attraction; and that is surely followed by an ultimate disunion.
