“Persevere on, my brave lads, We have only just begun. Never despond! Never say enough!”

Know that all sins and all evils can be summed up in that one word, weakness. It is weakness that is the motive power in all evil doing; it is weakness that makes men injure others; it is weakness that makes them manifest what they are not in reality. Let them know what they really are.

The help which tends to make us spiritually strong is the highest help, next to it comes intellectual help and after that comes physical help.

As soon as we react, we become slaves. A man blames me, and I immediately react in the form of anger. A little vibration which he created made me a slave.

Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness, and fear is wrong life. All the negative thoughts and ideas that are in the world have proceeded from this evil spirit of fear.

We must plunge heart and soul and body into the work. And until we are ready to sacrifice everything else to one Idea and to one alone, we never, never will see the Light.

Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they may be. Nothing is ever gained by that. You never help one by talking about his fault; you do him an injury, and injure yourself as well.

Take up an idea, devote yourself to it, struggle on in patience, and the sun will rise for you.

One may gain political and social independence, but if one is a slave to his passions and desires, one cannot feel the pure joy of real freedom

All practice or worship is only for taking off this veil. When that will go, you will find that the Sun of Absolute Knowledge is shining in Its own lustre.

They only live, who live for others, the rest are more dead than alive.

Take Risks in Your Life If you Win, you Can Lead! If You Lose, You can Guide!

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.

I do not want to get material life, do not want the sense-life, but something higher. That is renunciation. Then, by the power of meditation, undo the mischief that has been done.

It is not that Christ is superior to Allah, not that Allah is everything and Brahma is nothing, but it is the same one whom you call either Brahma or Allah, or Almighty, or by a hundred other names. The names are different but God is one and the same.

Be not afraid of anything. You will do marvelous work. The moment you fear, you are nobody. Be a hero. Always say, ‘I have no fear’. Tell this to everybody-‘Have no fear’.

Our own selfishness makes us the most arrant cowards; our own selfishness is the great cause of fear and cowardice.

Keep your eyes on the prize and don’t turn back.

Do not desire to fit in. Desire to oblige yourselves to lead.

It is brave to be involved. To be not fearful to be unresolved.

Asking for help doesn’t make you weak, it makes you brave.

The most important actions are never comfortable.

I did things with the microphone stand that no-one else has attempted to do.

Always attack. Even in defense, attack. The attacking arm possesses the initiative and thus commands the action. To attack makes men brave; to defend makes them timorous.

The mere possession of a gun is, in itself, an urge to kill, not only by design, but by accident, by madness, by fright, by bravado.
