Work purifies the heart and so leads to Vidya (wisdom).

What we call nature, fate, is simply God's will.

Japa is repeating the Holy Name; through this the devotee rises to the Infinite.

The path of devotion is natural and pleasant.

Choose the highest ideal and live your life up to that.

Experience is the only teacher.

Philosophy is not got by studying books.

The world is but a gymnasium in which we play; our life is an eternal holiday.
