Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.
When the mind tries to think of anything else, give it hard blow, so that it may turn around and think of god.
We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
Unselfishness is God. Selfishness is devil incarnate in every man. Every bit of self, bit by bit is devil. Take off self by one side and God enters by the other.
To be good and to do good, that is the whole of religion.
This world is nothing. It is at best only a hideous caricature, a shadow of the reality. We must go to the reality. Renunciation will take us to it.

The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.

The power is with the silent ones, who only live and love and then withdraw their personality. They never say "me" or "mine"; they are only blessed in being instruments.
The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves!
The goal of mankind is knowledge ... Now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.
The first sign of your becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
The calmer we are and the less disturbed our nerves, the more shall we love and the better will our work.
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 way great spiritual giants are produced.
Stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny.
Put your heart, mind and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.

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.

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.
Jealousy is the central vice of every enslaved race. And it is jealousy and want of combination which cause and perpetuate slavery.
It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts makes things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light.

In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.
If you want to do anything evil, do it before the eyes of your superiors.
If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.
Great work requires great and persistent effort for a long time. Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles.
