Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin; to say that you are weak, or others are weak.
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.
As different streams having different sources all mingle their waters in the sea, so different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to God.
If money help a man to do good to others, it is of some value; but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.
The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.
May He who is the Brahman of the Hindus, the Ahura-Mazda of the Zoroastrians, the Buddha of the Buddhists, the Jehovah of the Jews, the Father in Heaven of the Christians give strength to you to carry out your noble idea.
When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.
You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.
God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.
In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.
We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.
External nature is only internal nature writ large.
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.
The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
