"Each soul is
potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this
divinity within, by controlling nature, external and
internal. Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic
control, or philosophy - by one, or more, or all of
these - and be free. This is the whole of religion.
Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples,
or forms, are but secondary details."
"The one theme of the Vedanta philosophy is the search
after unity. The Hindu mind does not care for the
particular; it is always after the general, nay, the
universal. "what is it that by knowing which everything
else is to be known." That is the one search."
"Look upon every man, woman, and everyone as God. You
cannot help anyone, you can only serve: serve the
children of the Lord, serve the Lord Himself, if you
have the privilege."
"It may be that I shall find it good to get outside of
my body -- to cast it off like a disused garment. But I
shall not cease to work! I shall inspire men everywhere,
until the world shall know that it is one with God."
"Mankind ought to be taught that religions are but the
varied expressions of THE RELIGION, which is Oneness, so
that each may choose the path that suits him best." |
