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

2) The first sign of your becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.

3) You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

4) Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.

5) We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

6) 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.

7) 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.

8) The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.

9) All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.

10) GOD of truth, be Thou alone my guide…

11) The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves.

12) YOU know, I may have to be born again, you see, I have fallen in love with mankind.

13) BY the study of different RELIGIONS we find that in essence they are one.

14) If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished

15) MY nature is love Him. And therefore I love. I do not pray for any-thing. I do not ask for anything. Let Him place me wherever He likes. I must love Him for love’s sake. I can not trade in love.

16) To devote your life to the good of all and to the happiness of all is religion. Whatever you do for your own sake is not religion.

17) Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.

18) The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free.

19) 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.

20) When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.

21) All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.

22) Religion is the manifestation of the Divinity already in man.

23) That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.

24) External nature is only internal nature writ large.

25) GOD is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.
