Quotes

  • The Ultimate Truth is called God. This one can realize in the state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi. A circle can have only one centre but it can have numerous radii. The centre can be compared to God and the radii to religions. So, no one sect, no one religion or book can make an absolute claim of It. He who works for It gets It.
  • Every discord is a harmony not understood. Happiness is a disease, and pain, a medicine.
  • There are three kinds of fools in this world, fools proper, educated fools and rich fools. The world persists because of the folly of these fools.
  • Religion is another name for the realization of Truth. It consists in becoming and being one with the Supreme Being. Doctrines and dogmas are only details of a secondary nature.
  • Love is not lust. The two (love and lust) are poles apart. Love liberates while lust binds.
  • Truth alone ultimately triumphs and survives. Untruth and swindling prosper like fire in loose grass but this prosperity is only short-lived. Truth prevails slowly but steadily like fire in a huge log of wood and it is not easily extinguished. Human life is very precious but it is very precarious, too. Death is inevitable.
