If you give me rice, I'll eat today; if you teach me how to grow rice, I'll eat every day.

A teacher who establishes rapport with the taught, becomes one with them, learns more from them than he teaches them.

Renunciation is the central sun, round which devotion, knowledge and the rest revolve like planets.

Knowledge of the tallest scientist or the greatest spiritualist is like a particle of dust.

Without devotion, action and knowledge are cold and dry and many even become shackles.

The dry knowledge of the three R's is not even now, it can never be, a permanent part of the villagers' life.

Knowledge without devotion will be like a misfire.
