Strength is the medicine for the world's disease.

The weak have no place here, in this life or in any other life.

Truth, purity and unselfishness -- wherever these are present, there is no power below or above the sun to crush the possessor thereof.

To work, with undaunted energy! What fear! Who is powerful enough to thwart you!

Strength is the property of everyone in spite of all apparent weakness.

As soon as a man or a nation loses faith in himself, death comes.

For ascetics, mortification is all right, for workers, well-developed bodies, muscles of iron and nerves of steel.

You are also as much a man as the greatest of men - even an Incarnation.
(spoken June 19, 1899)

Please everyone without becoming a hypocrite or a coward

Time, patience, and indomitable will must show.

Time and opportunity must come if it is to be done you know, otherwise we vainly strive.

In everyone is God, the Atman; all else is but dream, an illusion.
(notes of Frank Rhodehamel)

Let your life in the world be nothing but a thinking to yourself.

Awake! Awake! all ye who would drink of the divine nectar!
(attributed to SV by Swami Sadananda)

Whatever exists has a reason; find that reason.

The constitutional belief in freedom is the basis of all reasoning.

The highest truth is always the simplest. (CWSN 1: 226)

The best work is only done by alternate repose and work.
(Letter to sashi march 1898)

The greatest name man ever gave to God is Truth.

No one can get anything unless he earns it. This is an eternal law.

The brave alone can afford to be sincere. Compare the lion and the fox.

There is no other teacher but your own soul.

The totality of all souls, not the human alone, is the Personal God.

That which is bound is nature, not the soul.

Life is but a dream of death.

If we can find in ourself something that is not acted on by any cause, then we have known the Self.

Concentration is the essence of all knowledge, nothing can be done without it.

As soon as you make a sect, you protest against universal brotherhood.

The more you fly from nature, the more she follows you; and if you do not care for her at all, she becomes your slave.

He who has conquered the internal nature controls the whole universe; it becomes his servant.

There is no virtue higher than non-injury.

Chastity is the basis of all religions.

Mercy shall not be for men alone, but shall go beyond, and embrace the whole world.

Renunciation is the very basis upon which ethics stands.

Everything is fraught with fear: Renunciation alone is fearless.

Truth does not pay homage to any society, modern or ancient. Society has to pay homage to truth, or die.

The flesh and the devil are but degrees of difference from God Himself.

Pure love has no motive. It has nothing to gain.

When love to God is revealed and is all, this world appears like a drop.

When a man has reached that perfect state, he is of the same nature as the Personal God. "I and my Father are one."

Sipâhis (sepoys) die soon — nature is full of defect — the athletes die soon.

Purity, patience, and perseverance are the three essentials to success, and above all, love.

The only worship is love.

Truth never dreams.

By truth we attain fruits of work.

Through truth everything is attained. In truth everything is established.

The worm that crawls under your feet today is a God to be.

That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.

Each individual has to work out his own salvation; there is no other way, and so also with nations.
