Religion

He who sees Shiva in the poor, in the weak and in the diseased, really worships Shiva; and if he sees Shiva only in the image, his worship is but preliminary.

"India was the mother of our race and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages. She was the mother of our philosophy, mother through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics, mother through Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity, mother through village communities of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all."

The tragedy of human history is decreasing happiness in the midst of increasing comforts.

Religion must not be considered true because it is necessary, but necessary because it is true.

Love is a consistent passion to give, not a meek persistent hope to receive.

The only demand of life is the privilege to love all.

Success or achievement is not the final goal.
