Our religion teaches that anger is a great sin, even if it is “righteous”.
The man who becomes angry never does a great amount of work, and the man whom nothing can make angry accomplishes so much.
The man who gives way to anger, or hatred, or any other passion, cannot work; he only breaks himself to pieces, and does nothing practical. It is the calm, forgiving, equable, well-balanced mind that does the greatest amount of work.
There is no such thing as “righteous” anger or justifiable killing.
Through the senses, anger comes, and sorrow comes.
Thinking of objects, attachment to them is formed in a man. From attachment longing, and from longing anger grows.
Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything.
Woman has suffered for eons, and that has given her infinite patience and infinite perseverance.

Experience is the only teacher we have.
Religion is realization; not talk, nor doctrine, nor theories however beautiful they may be. It is being and becoming, not hearing, or acknowledging; it is the whole soul becoming what it believes.
Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ; feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God.
Every one wants to command, and no one wants to obey; and this is owing to the absence of that wonderful brahmacharya system of yore. First, learn to obey. The command will come by itself. Always first learn to be a servant, and then you will be fit to be a master.
Self-sacrifice, not self-assertion, is the law of the highest universe.
The day, man will find that he never really dies; that his Soul persists beyond death; he will have no more fear of death.
A tremendous stream is flowing toward the ocean, carrying us all along with it; and though like straws and scraps of paper we may at times float aimlessly about, in the long run we are sure to join the Ocean of Life and Bliss.
Each one has a special nature peculiar to himself which he must follow and through which he will find his way to freedom.
Alcohol is not the answer to all questions.
There is no other teacher but your own soul.
To be good and to do good-that is the whole of religion.
