To the World Vegetarian Congress

Love alone can overcome hate and violence.

Let the Divine Compassion express itself through you always and in all circumstances.

The divine compassion reaches out not only to the one who is eaten

but also to the one who eats, not only to the one who is tortured but also

the one who tortures.

1957

To give oneself to the Divine, to receive and be the Divine, to transmit and spread forth the Divine: these are the three simultaneous movements which constitute our total relation with the Divine.

It is the supreme Wisdom that decides these things and not the ignorant human will.

And yet the Divine is everywhere in the ignorant man as well as in the sage.

S is always present in our thoughts and living in our hearts. For the thought the world is small, for the heart there is no distance.

Be faithful to your ideal and dedicate your work to the Divine.

The Lord will possess his universe perfectly only when the universe will have become the Lord.

Here is love and here the Presence, and indestructible Wealth.

Get rid of all violence and you will no longer have any fear.

For those whose destiny it is to scale the summits, the least false step risks being a mortal danger.

In the course of time and even in the course of your present life you can make your choice once and for all, irrevocably, and then you have only to confirm it with every new occasion; or else if you do not take a definite decision immediately', you will have to choose a new at each moment between the falsehood and the Truth.

One of the chief functions of the physical mind is to doubt. If you listen to it, it will always find a thousand reasons for doubting. But you must know that the physical mind is working in ignorance and full of falsehood.

The Divine Love is the essence of Truth and cannot be affected by the human confusions.

In the Ashram one must do only what one may do publicly, for nothing remains hidden. As for my protection it is equally over all and not over some as against others.

You cannot expect another to be perfect unless you are yourself perfect. Now to be perfect is to exactly what the supreme Lord wants you to be.

When one works for the Divine, it is much better to do perfectly what one does rather than to aim at a very big work.

13 May 1959

All having a common uplifting ideal, we shall unite; and in this union and by this union we will face and overcome the attacks of all opposing forces of darkness and devastation. In union is the strength, in union is the power, in union is the certitude of Victory.

To walk on the path one must bold, must never turn back on oneself with this mean, petty, weak, ugly movement that is fear. An indomitable courage, a perfect sincerity and a sincere self-giving to the extent that you do not calculate or bargain, you do not give with the idea of receiving, you do not give offer yourself with the idea that you will be protected, you do not have a faith that needs proofs — it is that which is indispensable for advancing on the way; this alone can shelter you against all danger.

It is not in man's nature to be faithful.

A company that has no name, no business and no money, is nota company, it is a fraud.

The only salvation is in an absolute sincerity and truthfulness.

25 March 1963

A gift made through vanity is profitable neither to the giver nor to the receiver.

As long as there is within any being the possibility of an inner conflict, it means that he has still some insincerity in him.

It is better to state a truth than to disregard it; but it is much better still to live it than to state it.

There must be nobility in one's nature not to bear a grudge against someone who has done you good.

To realise the progressive truth, theories must be modelled on practice and not practice adapted to the theory.

Men tolerate the presence of the Divine upon earth only on condition that He suffers there.

All that is conducive to the keeping of one's consciousness in the most material planes of the being would be criminal.

There is no greater victory than that of controlling oneself.

One must not take consequences for causes.

Goodwill for all and goodwill from all, is the basis of peace and harmony.

Whatever is your personal value or even your individual realisation, the first quality required in yoga is humility.
