The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.

There is no limit to the power of the human mind. The more concentrated it is, the more power is brought to bear on one point

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

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

If superstition enters, the brain is gone.

Stand as a rock; you are indestructible. You are the Self (atman), the God of the universe.

If there is one word that you find coming out like a bomb from the Upanishads, bursting like a bombshell upon masses of ignorance, it is the word "fearlessness."

We came to enjoy; we are being enjoyed. We came to rule; we are being ruled. We came to work; we are being worked. All the time, we find that. And this comes into every detail of our life.

This is the great lesson that we are here to learn through myriads of births and heavens and hells-that there is nothing to be asked for, desired for, beyond one's spiritual Self (atman).
