How to transcend the senses without disturbing the health is what we want to learn.
All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.
The whole life is a succession of dreams. My ambition is to be a conscious dreamer, that is all.
The brain and muscles must develop simultaneously. Iron nerves with an intelligent brain – and the whole world is at your feet.
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, and live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is how great spiritual giants are produced.
We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. The wind is blowing; those vessels whose sails are unfurled catch it, and go forward on their way, but those which have their sails furled do not catch the wind. Is that the fault of the wind? We make our own destiny.
I, for one, thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything they really deserve.
Do not look back upon what has been done. Go Ahead.
A man ought to live in this world like a lotus leaf, which grows in water but is never moistened by water; so a man ought to live in the world – his heart to God and his hands to work.
Strength is Life, Weakness is Death. Expansion is Life, Contraction is Death. Love is Life, Hatred is Death.
The gift of knowledge is the highest gift in the world.
If you have infinite patience and perseverance, success is bound to come. No mistake in that.
Ignorance is death, Knowledge is life.
If you really want to judge the character of a man, look not at his great performances. Watch a man do his most common actions.
Christ, being man, had to see impurity and denounced it; but God, infinitely higher, does not see iniquity and cannot be angry.
Christ’s public life extended only over eighteen months, and for this he had silently been preparing himself for thirty – two years.
Even now, when you get love, you see Radha. Become Radha and be saved. There is no other way, Christians do not understand Solomon’s song. They call it prophecy symbolising Christ’s love for the Church. They think it nonsense and father some story upon it.
Everything is the living God, the living Christ; see it as such.
I pity the Hindu who does not see the beauty in Jesus Christ’s character. I pity the Christian who does not reverence the Hindu Christ.
If Jesus Christ was not perfect, then the religion bearing his name falls to the ground.
Jesus Christ was willing to admit every good man to the family of God. It is not the man who believes a certain something, but the man who does the will of the Father in heaven, who is right. On this basis-being right and doing right-the whole world can unite.
