So long as you have faith in your Guru, nothing will be able to obstruct your way.
The essence of our Faith consists simply in this freedom of the Ishta.
The Vedanta teaches men to have faith in themselves first.
Why is it that we three hundred and thirty millions of people have been ruled for the last one thousand years by any and every handful of foreigners who chose to walk over our prostrate bodies? Because they had faith in themselves and we had not.
With eternal faith in Him, set fire to the mountain of misery that has been heaped upon India for ages – and it shall be burned down.
Work hard, be steady, and have faith in the Lord. Set to work.
You know the disease, you know the remedy, only have faith.
All action of Sattva, a modification of Prakriti characterised by light and happiness, is for the soul. When Sattva is free from egoism and illuminated with the pure intelligence of Purusha, it is called the self-centred one, because in that state it becomes independent of all relations.
Egotism, pride, etc. must be given up.
I am neither the mind, nor the intellect, nor the ego, nor the mind-stuff.
In everything we do, the serpent ego is rising up.
It will be a great pity if any feeling of jealousy or egotism gain ground amongst you.
Man only remains hypnotised with the false idea of an ego. When this ghost is off from us, all dreams vanish, and then it is found that the one Self only exists from the highest Being to a blade of grass.
One possessing Vairagya does not understand by Atman the individual ego but the All-pervading Lord, residing as the Self and Internal Ruler in all. He is perceivable by all as the sum total.
Out of Mahat comes universal egoism.
Say – i am the Atman in which my lower ego has become merged for ever. Be perfect in this idea; and then as long as the body endures, speak unto others this message of fearlessness: “Thou art That”, “Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached!”
The “ego” like its correlative “non-ego”, is the product of the body, mind etc. The only proof of the existence of the real Self is realisation.
The ego of man and woman is the soul. If the soul is independent, how then can it be isolated from the infinite whole?
The world is a demon. It is a kingdom of which the puny ego is king. Put it away and stand firm.
There is no good in store so long as malice and jealousy and egotism will prevail.
