Thank God for giving you this world as a moral gymnasium to help your development, but never imagine you can help the world.
Never turn back to see the result of what you have done. Give all to the Lord and go on, and think not of it.
All powers are within you, you can do anything and everything.
Be Grateful to the Man you help, think of Him as God. Is it not a great privilege to be allowed to worship God by helping our fellow men?
It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thought make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light.
Had I lived in Palestine, in the days of Jesus of Nazareth, I would have washed his feet, not with my tears, but with my heart’s blood!
Be not afraid of anything. You will do marvelous work. It is fearlessness that brings heaven even in a moment.
Even the least work done for others awakens the power within; even thinking the least good of others gradually instills into the heart the strength of a lion.
I fervently wish no misery ever came near anyone; yet it is that alone that gives us an insight into the depths of our lives, does it not? In our moments of anguish, gates barred forever seem to open and let in many a flood of light.
The powers of the mind are like the rays of the sun. When they are concentrated, they illumine.
The forms have value only so far as they are expressions of the life within. If they have ceased to express life, crush them out without mercy.
The Indian idea is that the soul is formless. Whatever is form must break some time or other.
Get up, and set your shoulder to the wheel – How long is this life for? As you have come into this world, leave some mark behind. Otherwise, where is the difference between you and the trees and stones? They too come into existence, decay and die.
BY the study of different RELIGIONS we find that in essence they are one.
Onward, my brave boys – money or no money – men or no men! Have you love? Have you God? Onward and forward to the breach, you are irresistible.
Be brave! Be strong! Be fearless! Once you have taken up the spiritual life, fight as long as there is any life in you. Even though you know you are going to be killed, fight till you “are killed.” Don’t die of fright. Die fighting. Don’t go down till you are knocked down.
Each nation has a main current in life; in India it is religion. Make it strong and the waters on either side must move along with it.
Be a hero. Always say, ‘I have no fear.’ Tell this to everyone – ‘Have no fear.’
As long as we require someone else to make us happy, we are slaves.
When you are doing any work, do not think of anything beyond. Do it as worship, as the highest worship, and devote your whole life to it for the time being.
