“Education is the manifestation of perfection already existing in man.”

As soon as extreme attachment comes, a man loses himself, he is no more master of himself, he is a slave.

He whose book of the heart has been opened needs no other books.

My children, the secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, 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.

If in this hell of a world one can bring a little joy and peace even for a day into the heart of a single person, that much alone is true; this I have learnt after suffering all my life; all else is mere moonshine.

Do not desire, for what you desire you get, and with it comes terrible bondage. It is nothing but bringing “noses on us,” as in the case of the man who had three boons to ask. We never get freedom until we are self-contained. “Self is the Saviour of self, none else.”

Man makes the mistake of separating himself from God and identifying himself with the body.

Everything is easy when you are busy. But nothing is easy when you are lazy.

The attempt is to kill the false “I”, so that the real “I”, the Lord, will reign. “I the Lord thy God am a jealous God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me,” say the Hebrew scriptures.

What we call powers, secrets of nature, and force, are all within. In the external world are only a series of changes.

Take courage and work on. Patience and steady work- this is the only way.

Each soul is a star and all stars are set in the infinite azure, the eternal sky-the Lord.

Say, “I can do everything .” “Even if poison of a snake is powerless if you can firmly deny it.”

There is only one Soul in the Universe. There is no ‘you’ or ‘me’; all variety is merged into the absolute unity, the one infinite existence – God.

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

Man’s experience in the world is to enable him to get out of its whirlpool.

Save one life you are a hero save a hundred lives you’re a nurse.

Things do not change; we change.

Anything dead coming back to life hurts.

Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.

There is no future without education.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

If you ain’t aim too high, then you aim too low!

You throw thorns, falling in my silence they become flowers.
