everlasting dog
Pet Lover’s Agony?

How would you feel watching your favorite Dog(bestfriend) slowly losing her breath infront of you… she watches you as she slowly fades and, walk the walk of everlasting peace?

I have been there twice. It was like watching my best friend and a loved family member die. The first was Tippy, a border collie I grew up with (litterally) we were only a few weeks apart in age. The second was a lab that I adopted. He was my best buddy and a real comfort during a very rough time in my life. It was heart-breaking! I remember wishing that there was something, anything I could do to help, but at the same time relieved that their suffering was ending. I have never forgotten a furry friend that I have lost and sometimes I still get a little sad thinking about ones long gone. They will always be missed. I just try to remember all the joy they brought me and hope that I provided a happy, healthy home.

SWAMI RAMA TIRTHA

• A person can never realize his unity with God, the All, except when unity with the Whole Nation throbs in every fibre of his frame.
• Let every son of India stand for the service of the Whole, seeing that the whole of India is embodied in every son.
• One’s personal and local Dharma must never be placed higher than the National Dharma. The keeping of right proportions only secures felicity.
• Doing anything to promote the well-being of the Nation is serving the Cosmic Powers, devas, or gods.
• To realize God, have the Sannyasa spirit, i.e. entire renunciation of self-interest, ninking the little self absolutely at one with the great Self of Mother India. 
• To realize God or Bliss, have the Brahmana   spirit, dedicating   your intellect to thoughts for the advancement of the Nation.
• To realize Bliss, you have to possess the Kshattriya spirit, readiness to lay down your life for the country at every second.
• To realize God, you must have the true Vaishya spirit, holding your property only in trust for the Nation.
• But to realize Bliss and Rama, in that world or this, and to give a living concrete objective reality to your abstract subjective Dharma, you have to work ibis Sannyasa spirit, Brahmana, Kshattriya and Vaishya heroism through your hands and feet in the manual labour, once delegated to the holy Shudras. The Sannyasa spirit must be wedded to the Pariah hands. This is the only way today. Wake up! Wake up!
• There is but one remedy and one disease. Nations can be cured and made free by the Life of Law. Individuals can be made saints and higher than gods by the same.
• In renouncing the sense of possession, in adopting the spirit of Vedantic renunciation lies the salvation of nations as well as of individuals. There is no other way
• The myriad forces in India have no resultant pressure, being nullified by being pitched one against the other. Is it not a pity? What is the reason? Because each party concentrates its attention on the faults of its neighbour.
• 0 disrespectable Respectability! There can be no union and love in a country, so long as; you keep emphasizing each other’s faults.
• The secret of the successful art of living lies in developing the mother’s heart to whom all her children are lovely, whether big or babes.
• Mother is the word which brings the deepest feeling from the soul of a Hindu.
• Almost every town, stream, hill, stone or animal is personified and sanctified in India, is it not high time now to deify the entire motherland, and let every partial manifestation inspire us with devotion to the Whole?
• White, towering temples and stone Vishnus, erected by you, will not allay the fever of your heart… Worship, worship the hungry Narayanas and the labouring Vishnus of the country.
• Instead of wasting the precious ghee into the mouth of artificial fire, why not offer even hard crusts of dry bread to the Gastric fire which is eating up the flesh and bones of millions of starving but living Narayanas?
• The highest gift you can confer on a man is to offer him knowledge. You may feed a man today; he will be just as hungry tomorrow. Teach him an art and you enable him to earn his living all his life.
• Indian charity does not trouble itself so much about the starving labouring classes (Shudras), but it takes the charitable donors straight to heaven by feeding the over-satiated idlers, in the Store Houses of God, the high representatives of Religion Petrified.
• The weak-minded Yatri who pays a pittance to the persistent beggar drone may compliment himself on having done something to save his soul in the next world. Be it as it may, there is not the least doubt that he has done something to ruin the nation here and now.
• Half the population is dying of starvation, the other half is buried under conspicuous waste, superfluous furniture, scent  bottles, affectations, galvanized manners, all sorts of precious trifles, squalid riches and unhealthy how
• An average Indian home is typical of the state of the whole nation, very slender means and not only yearly multiplying mouths to feed but slavishly to incur undue expenses in meaningless and cruel ceremonies.
• The Indian Princes and the Indian Nobles, having lost all their precious jewels and powers, are left mere carpet knights with hollow rattling titles and vain empty names.
• The greatest mistake, made by the present day Socialists, is that they envy the drop of sea-spray possessed by the so-called wealthy, instead of pitying their burden.
• They raise practically no crops in England, and yet the country is rich? Why? Because Indra, the God of hands, is fed although to the degree of indigestion on arts and industries.
• The greatest cause of India’s poverty is discarding the rubbish, dreading to touch the bones of dead animals and developing a kind of nose – hygiene, sneering at all kinds of what they call debris.
• The downfall of India, the decline of India, is explained by the Vedanta philosophy. It is a matter of Karma.
• There are some for whom patriotism means constant brooding over the vanished glories of the past. Bankrupted bankers brooding over the long outdated credit books, now useless.
• Young would-be Reformer! Decry not the ancient customs and spirituality of India, by introducing a fresh element of discord, the Indian people cannot reach Unity.
• Abnegating the little ego and having, thus, become whole of the country, feel anything, your country will feel with you; March, your country will follow.
• Service and love, and not mandates and compulsion, is the atmosphere for growth.
• The man, who is worthy of being a leader of men, will never complain of the stupidity of his helpers, of the faithlessness of his followers, of the ingratitude of mankind, nor of non-appreciation of the public.
• A country is strengthened not by great men with small views, but by small men with great views.
• Perfect   democracy,    equality, throwing off the load of external authority,  casting aside the   vain accumulative spirit, throwing over-board all prerogatives, the spurning of the airs of superiority and shaking off the embarrassment of inferiority, is Vedanta on the material plane
• Let every man have equal liberty to find his own level. Head as high as you please, but feet always on the common ground, never upon any body’s shoulders or neck, even though he be weak or willing.
• Pseudo-politicians think of bringing about national rise without striking the key-note of power i. e. the spirit of freedom and love.
• The rise of Europe and America is not due to Christ’s personality. The right cause is Vedanta practised unconsciously. The downfall of India is due to Vedanta being absent in practice.
• To be saved from foreign politics the only remedy is to live the Law of spiritual health—the Law of love for your neighbour.
• What rights have we, in the name of purity or impurity, to play the part of self-elected members of God’s detective police and pry into the private behaviour of a man whose public behaviour is a help to the country?
• All that we have to arouse among the Hindu people is a spirit of appreciation and no criticism,the sentiment of fraternity, the instinct of synthesis, the co-ordination   of   functions    and aristocracy of labour.
• Assert your individuality against all society and all nations and every thing.
• Sacrifice to Brihaspati is dedicating my intellect (thoughts) to all the intellects in the land or thinldng for the good of the land as if myself were none else than my countrymen,
• If you cannot more than support yourself in foreign lands, remain there. And if you are to be a workless creeping leech on the aching bosom of Mother India, jump into the Arabian Sea, and well share her Arabian hospitality rather than set foot again on India.
• Instead of being scared by Western Science, the Hindus today welcome her as the greatest ally to their own Brahma Vidya (Shruli).
• When you want to settle matters through reasoning and logic, while the glass-partition of caste-feeling does not let the hearts unite, you come in dangerous proximity.
• Religious sectarianism has clouded manhood in the people and eclipsed the sense of common nationality.
• Bhaktas of India ! You will be the darling dear of that sweet Cowherd when you see Him with divine love in the Chandala, in the thief, in the sinner, in the stranger, and in all, and not confine Him to mere stone images.
• Those that you miscall “fallen” have “not risen” yet.   They are the freshmen of the University just as you also were at one time.
• Beloved orthodox people of India! Put into force the Shastras aright, the Dharma of the country demands of you to relax the stringest caste-rules and to subordinate the sharp class-distinctions to the national fellow-feeling.
• My beloved Hindus! By aversion to change or adaptation, laying too much emphasis on the old customs and heredity, pray, degrade not yourselves below the level of man.
• Longitudinally (or in time) you may belong to the hereditary line of Himalayan Sages but latitudinally (or in space) you cannot deny your relation of coexistence with the European and American matter of fact wielders of Art and Science.
• If you are not willing and ready to assimilate the new Light, which is also the old light of your own land, go and live in Pitri Loka with the forefathers. Why tarry here? Good-bye!
• Waste no time in thinking, India has been. Call up all your energy, which is infinite, and feel, feel, India shall be.
• As it is today the Swamis and Pandits in India are singing lullabies to prolong the lethargic sleep of their race.
• Independent thinking is looked upon (in India) as heresy, nay worst crime. Whatever comes from the dead language is sacred.
• A child turned Christian, although the very own flesh and blood to a Hindu father, becomes more a stranger than the street dog.
• Truth-consciousness brings strength and victory. Skin-consciousness (even if it be Brahmana-consciousness or Sannyasa-consciousness) makes a cobbler of you.
• A woman is given the position of an inanimate object in civilised society, whereas a man is free in his ways and a woman is kept bound hand and foot. She becomes the property of one man, then another man.
• It is a great blemish on the face of the civilised society that woman is made a mercantile commodity and a woman is possessed and belongs to a man in the same sense as a tree or a house or money belongs to him.
• Neglecting the education of women, children, and the labouring classes is like cutting down the very branches that are supporting us, nay, it is like striking death-blow at the very root of the tree of nationality.
• Do not say, marriage is opposed to religion, see what the real state of happiness is, what real self is, as man aspiring to realisation meditates upon true Bliss, reality, fundamental principle.
• All marriage relations, brought about by attachment to the colour of the face, to the outlines of the countenance, to figure, form or personal beauty, end in losses, and are very unhappy.
• The aim of husband should be the elevation of the marriage tie, and not money making and the wrong use of family relations.
• Accept not a religion because it is the oldest; its being the oldest is no proof of its being the true one. Sometimes the oldest houses ought to be pulled down and the oldest clothes must be changed. The latest innovation, if it can stand the test of Reason, is as good as the fresh rose bedecked with sparkling dew.
• Accept not a religion because it is the latest. The latest things are not always the best, not having stood the test of time.
• Accept not a religion on the ground of its being believed in by avast majority of mankind, because the vast majority of mankind believes practically in the religion of Satan, in the religion of Ignorance. There was a time when the vast majority of mankind believed in slavery, but that could be no proof of slavery being a proper Institution.
• Believe not in a religion on the ground of its being believed in by the chosen few. Sometimes the small minority that accepts a religion is in darkness and misled.  
• Accept not a religion because it comes from a great ascetic, from a man who has renounced everything; because we see that there are many ascetics, men who have renounced everything, and yet they know nothing, they are veritable fanatics.   
• Accept not a religion because it comes from princes or kings; kings are often enough spiritually poor.
• Accept not a religion because it comes from a person whose character was the highest; often times people of the grandest character have failed in expounding the Truth. A man’s digestive power may be exceptionally strong and yet he may not know anything about the process of assimilation. Here is a painter. He gives you lovely, exquisite, splendid work of art and yet the painter may be the ugliest man in the world. There are people who are very ugly and yet they   promulgate beautiful truths, Socrates was such a man.   
• Believe not in a religion because it comes from a very famous man. Sir Isaac Newton is very famous, and yet his emissary theory of light is wrong.
• Accept a thing and believe in a religion on its own merit’s. Examine it yourself. Sift it.
• Sell not your liberty to Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed or Krishna.
• If three hundred and thirtythree billions of Christ appear in the world, it will do no good, unless you yourself undertake to remove the darkness within. Depend not on others.
• All religion is simply an attempt to unveil ourselves, to explain our Self.
• True Religion means faith in Good rather than faith in God.
• Remember, religion is a thing of the heart and virtue is a thing for the heart, so is sin. Sin and virtue have to do altogether with your position and frame of mind.
• Religion, as distinguished from theology, and also divested of its dogmatic excrescences, is essentially  a mysterious process by which the mind or intellect reaches back   and loses itself in the inscrutable source,   the Great Beyond.
• Religion (as is manifest from the derivation of the term re-back, ligare-to bind) is that which binds one back to the origin or fountain head.
• No sect or religion has the least right to prey upon its foolish votaries that has not come to an understanding with the healthly humanising results of present- day scientific research.
• All process of joining this Church or that, this Society or that Society, worshipping this Christ or that Krishna, this fetish or that, will avail nothing.
• All the dogmatic ideologies of the world have more or less of superstition, stamped on their face.
• All creeds are simply the efforts to strike out, to rend asunder the veil which covers our eyes.
• The religions, creeds, denominations are worn by people merely like amulets about the neck. All kinds of virtue and efficacy are ascribed to them and yet, after all, what little we achieve is utterly independent of those pet dreams.
• So long as any trace of external obligation and categorical imperative “Thou shalf and “Thou shalt not†is in play, there can be no room for spiritual growth of true purity.
• The Imperative Mood, Second Person, keeps alive in us the limited personality, and wherever there is limitation, there is no Bliss, nor any escape from attraction and repulsion, no salvation from attachment and hatred, no freedom from   vacillation and temptation.
• Spiritual pauperism is produced by forcing religious beliefs on the innocent boys and girls.
• Spiritual pauperism and religious intolerance (or fanaticism) are, respectively, passive and active states of the same disease.
• Respect for persons, appearances, titles, riches, learning and forms, is idolatry. 
• Sad, indeed, is the kitchen-religion which allows the Infinite, Immortal Soul to be sullied by the foreigner’s soup.
• 0, ye wavering, fickle, dubious mind! No more of lukewarm orthodoxy and heterodoxy! Scorch out all doubt and hesitation, all doxies are your creation
• Why you consider yourself dependent on God, Christ, Mohammed, Buddha, Krishna, or any of the saints of this world ? Free you are, each and all.
• Rama brings you a religion which is found in the streets, which is written upon the leaves, which is murmured by the brooks, which is whispered in the winds, which is throbbing in your own veins and arteries; a religion which concerns your business and bosom; a religion which you have not to practise by going into a particular Church only; a religion which you hay to practise and live in your every day life, about your hearth, in your dining room, everywhere you have to live that religion.
• The term Vedant simply means the Fundamental Truth. The Truth is your own; it is not Rama’s more than yours; it does not belong to the Hindu more than to you. It belongs to nobody; everybody and everything belongs to it.
• The secret of success is Vedanta put into practice. Practical Vedanta is the secret of success.
• Vedanta says “0 Christians, 0 Mohammedans, 0 Vaishnavas, 0 ye different sects of the whole world, if you think you are being saved through the name of Christ or Buddha or Krishna or any other saint, remember the real virtue does not lie in the Christ, or the Buddha, or the Krishna, or any body; the real virtue lies in your own Self.’
• Vedanta Says, “Have more regard for Truth than for the feelings of this or that individual; because if you value the truth, you are really valuing the friend.
• As to meat, Vedanta says, “Have no clinging to your bodies; mind not whether your body lives or dies; care not whether people worship your body or pelt it with stones. Rise above it.” own; it is not Rama’s more than yours; it does not belong to the Hindu more than to you. It belongs to nobody; everybody and everything belongs to it.
• The secret of Success is Vedanta put into practice. Practical Vedanta is the secret of success.
• Vedanta says “O Christians, 0 Mohammedans, 0 Vaishnavas, 0 ye different sects of the whole world, if you think you are being saved through the name of Christ or Buddha or Krishna or any other saint, remember the real virtue does not lie in the Christ, or the Buddha, or the Krishna, or anybody; the real virtue lies in your own Self.â€
• Vedanta Says, “Have more regard for Truth than for the feelings of this or that individual; because if you value the truth, you are really valuing the friend.
• As to meat, Vedanta says, “Have no clinging to your bodies; mind not whether your body lives or dies; care not whether people worship your body or pelt it with stones. Rise above it.”
• Vedanta says, “Here is the Law: You can consider other idols to be real to the same degree as you look upon your own idol, the body, to be real. That is the Law.”
• You begin to love a picture for its own sake and ignore the person whose picture it is, are you not worshipping an idol?
• What is idolatry? To give the forms of foes and friends a sense of personality, individuality and reality to such an extent, as to miss the impersonated (masked) individual (indivisible) Real Self or Law.
• According to the Hindus, everybody is God, the most precious jewel, the whole treasure, the supreme bliss and source of all happiness in Himself. Everybody is God and All in Himself.
• The sublime teaching of the Upanishads and the glorious Vedanta have been replaced by a sort of kitchen-religion, that is, eccentric regard for diet and the ways of eating. 
• The true Vedanta is not confined to the Vedas only. It is in your hearts ..take not Rama as a slave of this or that dogma. Rama is your own self, independence itself.        
• Why shut out Brahma-Vidya from any one. Down with the closed rooms and underground cells of ignorance and weakness.  Let divino light and air bless all.
• Vedanta does not make you unhappy by taking away your desires, but Vedanta makes you adjust these desires and makes them subservient to you; instead of being tyrannized by them, it wants you to become their master.
• Fasting should be taken as a help but should not master us. People often fast because it is forced upon them; they then become servants of this slavery of fasting. 
• True fasting means ridding ourselves of all selfish desires, not feeding them, and purging ourselves wholly of them.
• Charity is to be judged not by its motive but by its results.
• What, if we feed thousands of poor for one day, this indiscriminate charity simply helps in breeding respectable paupers.
• “Sacrifice averts evil,’/ is a saying as true today as in those good old days, only it is not the sacrifice ‘ of innocent animals but the sacrifice (havan-yajna) of our party spirit,caste”feelings, jealousies, etc., at the altar of love that brings heaven to us in this world.
• Instead of lighting artificial fire for Havan, let the pious youth make use of the glowing glory of the morning sun or the setting orb as the Altar-fire to offer  his   dwarfed   limited ego (Ahankara).
• True Yajna or sacrifice to the Devas means offering or dedicating any individual faculties and senses to the corresponding Cosmic Powers.
• Offering to Aditya would mean realizing the presence of God in all Eyes; honouring and respecting all Eyes.
• Offering to Indra would mean working for the good of all hands in the land.
• If you worship man, or in other words, if you look upon man not as a man but as the Divinity, if you approach every thing as God, as the Divinity, and then worship man, then you worship God.
• Everything is subject to change here. The face of the country is almost changed; government changed, language changed, colours of the inhabitants changed; why should the gods of the Vedic days still remain swinging in their cradles away up and not grow with the years and come down to mix freely with us and become familiar subjects to man?
• Circumstances are changed now; most people do not want monarchy; they want self-government. It is high time for the old, overbearing and domineering conception of God to evolve into the freedom inspiring idea of “I am God.â€
• The question of present Karma Kandatakes the following altered shape: “If you want to live in the present century of marching and advancing industries and arts, and not die by inches of political consumption, do capture the Matrishva of Electricity, and enslave the Varma of Steam, become familiar with the Kuveraof the Science of Agriculture.” The Purohit, to introduce you to these gods, is the scientist or artist who instructs these branches of know- ledge.
• Ye who stand alone in Truth, be not afraid that the vast majority is against you.
• Woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you, for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
• 0 ye of little faith! Wake up! Wake up to your holy majesty! And a single glance from your royal indifference, a sidewink from your divine recklessness is enough to convert the direst hells into charming heavens^
• Without keeping alive the flame of faith and the torch of burning Jnanam in your breast you cannot advance a single step.
• Who are you who go about to save them that are lost? Are you saved yourself?
• There is no use believing in salvation by performing services.
• Live ye the Kingdom of Heaven which is in you, which is you, and all the things are added unto you.
• Do not sell the Christ of your real Self, the Lord of Lords, for the deluding pleasures of this world.
• Who would have remembered Christ by this time, but for what immediately followed after that false kiss ?
• Christ can be produced to-day, if you like.
• Adam, poor Adam, in the magnificent grand garden of Eden, would never have thought of eating the fruit of a particular tree in a neglected quarter, had not the Biblical God distinguished it as “forbiddenâ€.
• All the Bibles can do little good unless wives and husbaads undertake to be each other’s saviours or Christs.
• The first law of Moses means “Thou shalt have no other God but Love.”
• God alone is real and all else unreal: “La illah il liltah.â€
• Prayer does not mean repeating certain words.   Prayer means feeling and realizing Divinity.
• Instead of praying “Thy will be done, 0 Lord,” let your joy be “My will is being done”, “My will is being done.”
• Be not hypnotized through the opinions of others and the more a man
• stands above this weakness of being hypnotized by others, the more free he Is.
• As a rule, churches, temples, gatherings and meetings are different methods of prolonging the hypnotic world-sleep.
• Can authority establish Truth? Does the Sun require a little lamp to be made visible ? Does a simple mathematical truth gain a whit more weight if Christ, Mohammed, Buddha, Zoraster, Vedas and all come and come and bear testimony to it ?
• 0 living man; it is worth while to live as Love yourself. Be not clouded by the imperfect examples of Buddhas, Christs, Swamins and other idols of the past.
• In this twentieth century it is high time for us to wake up to a sense of discrimination (viveka) and not mix up personalities with preachings. Shall we reject a beautiful lotus because it grows in a dirty pond?
• We have to take the teachings and advice of a man on its own merits, without regard to the personality of the teacher. What have the elements of Geometry to do with the personality of Euclid?
• Bondage and thraldom is fast departing, evolution is at work and everything must progress upward and onward. Should your personal God alone be at a standstill? No.
• Even the avowed champions of materialism, scepticism, positivism, atheism and agnosticism, owe their success unconsciously to the active spirit of religion in them
• The world itself is a miracle, no need of other miracles. Fear—the cause of all sin, is only removed by knowing Atman. Realise purity and become pure. It is unnatural to teach any other religion.
• Is it not laziness to practically let others live your life and have no freedom in dress, eating, walking, sleeping, laughing and weeping, not to say anything of talking?
• We want to appear so good in the eyes of others; this is the social evil of society, the bane of all religions.
• Every statute (Smriti) stands there to say “Yesterday we agreed so and so, but how feel you this article today.”
• Unless a religious scripture meets the spiritual wants of the people, it can not live, and as the people grow in the course of  Evolution, the interpretation of the religious Scriptures of theirs must advance with them.
• We have to solve our problems and to begin to see with our own eyes rather than to continue peeping through the eyes of our most venerable seers and sages of the past gone-by.
• Do see God in Nature, as nature; but something more, see Him also in the laboratory and the science room; let the chemist’s table be as sacred to you as the Yajna fire,
• If the ruling Self of outside Nature were different from your own inner Self, there were no other causes left for you but to hang down the head and be damned.
• Walk towards the setting Sun or towards the rising Sun, walk .on the banks of rivers, walk where the cool breeze is playing and you will find yourself in tune with Nature, in harmony with the Universe
• Blessed are those who do not read newspapers, for they shall see Nature and through Nature, God.
• Let Jnanam (Science, knowledge) guide our eating (Annam).
• The sacred Scriptures of all the worlds should be taken in the same spirit as we study Chemistry, holding our own experience for ultimate authority.
• The attempt to popularise science aims to abolish some of the glaring religious misunderstandings and to put the energies of people in a more rational and usual direction.
• Could the discoveries of Science be tacked on to the dogmas of the Christian Bible or other religious works as Bhashyas or commentaries with the view of knitting well the past with the future?
• Woe unto Science, if it goes against the truth, connected with the efficacy of the sacred syllable OM
• The Vedas are not in conflict with Science; your present day discoveries and inventions are simply washing the feet of the queen of Shrutis. They are serving the cause of the Vedanta more and more.
• The mental energies of many a young man is being lavished or wasted upon discussion and debating knotty questions like “How many times should a man gurgle at the time of ablutions?”
• Let your energy be directed to higher topics, you will have no time to think of anything smacking of carnality.
• It is usually taught that Religion has nothing to do with worldly love. Rama tells you that it has; the right use of affection makes you realize God.
• Unless the wife undertakes to do real good unto the husband and the husband undertakes to promote the welfare of the wife, religion can never prosper; there is no hope for religion.
• Sensuous pleasures, in their essence, are strictly speaking religion, but the mode of realizing religion, involved in them. may be compared to getting a peep into the Durbar through the grating of a dirty gutter.
• Gods laugh in their sleeves at our concessions and courtesies.   0 how ridiculous perjuries we commit in trying to be faithful to our distant neighbour.
• Threats and punishments never prevented sin
• Crimes are called by many names, matricide, homicide, and the like, but by not feeling the Divinity within each and all, you commit the crime of Godcidc or Deicide.
• Moral pauperism is produced by giving precepts.
• The world thinks, most religions believe, and many moralists practically advocate, that precepts and rules will cure matters. Never ! Never H Never!!!
• Sometimes moral weakness passed by the name of purity, just as attachment assumes the name of love.
• Purity of heart does not simply mean abstaining from conjugal sins, it means that; but it means a great deal more.
• Your soul is not impure and sinful by nature, it has not fallen through the sin of one man, and does not depend upon the virtue of another man to Save it.
• Let people differ from you, let them subject you to all sorts of difficulties, let them revile you, but despite their favours and frowns, their threats and promises, from the lake of your mind there should flow nothing but divine, infinitely pure fresh water, Nectar should flow out of you, so that it may become as impossible for you to think evil as for the pure fresh spring to poison those who drink from it.
• Here is a divine law which should be proclaimed on all corners and all bazars. Try to throw dust into the eyes of God and you will be blinded yourself.
• In the most solitary caves commit a sin and you will in no time be astonished to see that the very grass under your feet stands up and bears testimony against you, you will in no time see that the very walls, the very trees have tongues, and speak. “You cannot cheat Nature, Providence. This is a truth, this is a law.”
• Fight not with Gravity, take your steps cautiously and you will have no falls   All your falls, all your injuries, all your hurts, all your anxieties and within you. Remove that.
• The more your heart beats with the best in Nature, the more you feel that throughout the whole of Nature it is you that is breathing.
• What is your duty towards others? When the other people fall sick, bring them up to you, just as you would have attended to the wounds of this particular body, attend to those wounds as if they were yours.
• You begin to feel something; your neighbour is touched immediately.
• He who hales his fellow is just as much a murderer as a man who commits actual murder.
• The most sacred truth is violated, as it were, when you consider yourself not one with your fellow-men.
• Any, philosophy which does not all the facts in nature is no philosophy.
• What is Truth? ”Tattvaiiiasr’or love itself.
• Truth need not compromise. Let the whole world turn round the Sun, the Sun need not revolve round the world.
• Truth is no body’s property; truth is not the property of Jesus; we ought not to preach it in the name of Jesus. It is not the property of Krishna, or anybody. It is everybody’s property.
• Confound not Truth which is defined as “the same yesterday, today and for ever” with a particular occurrence.
• To realize the Truth is to become the master of the Universe.
• In order that you may reach the Truth, that you may realize Divinity, your dearest wants and desires will be pricked through and through, your wants and dearest attachments will have to be severed, all your favourite superstitions will have to be wiped out, to be torn aside— torn off from your body.     
• If for the sake of Truth you have to give up the body, give it up. This is the last, this is the last attachment broken.
• Let the Truth or God become your father, let the Truth or God become your mother, let the God or Truth be to you your wife, let God or Truth be not to preach it in the name of Jesus. It is not the property of Krishna, or anybody. It is everybody’s property.
• The right spirit of Truth is to assert the supremacy of the individual against all the world, all the Universe.
• After death your going to hell or entering heaven is not the whole truth.
• How Seldom it is that we meet a whole man. A whole man is an inspired man, a whole man is the Truth make yourself whole, get rid of desires, get rid of attachments, get rid of this repulsion and attraction.
• There is in reality only the one Self which we are, nothing besides it; and since there is nothing besides the Self, you can not consistently say that you are a part. But it must follow that you are the Self entire. There is no division in Truth. You are the Truth now.
• People and things are dear W us as long as they serve our interests, our purposes. The very moment that our interests are at stake, we sacrifice everything.
• Not for the sake of the child is the child dear, the child is dear for the Sake of the Self. Not for the sake of the wife is wife dear, not for the sake of the husband is husband dear; the wife is dear for the sake of the Self; the husband is dear for the sake of the Self. This is the Truth
• Why should not people have any practical faith in death, although they have intellectual knowledge of it? Vedanta explains it this way: “In man there is the real Self, which is immortal, there is the real Self, which is everlasting, unchanging, the same yesterday, to-day and for ever; in man there is something which knows no death, which knows no change.”
• It is falsehood and atheism to say “I am a man or woman”, or to call yourself a poor crawling creature.
• That which cannot be perceived by the mind, the eyes and other organs of senses, but make the mind, the eyes, etc., speed to their work, is Brahman.
• Why fret and worry, you restless infidel? None, none but your own sweet Self (Law Divine) has an exclusive rule over the universe
• What are you? Infinite and Immaculate, Immortal Self of all, is your Self.
• Have you a doubt as to your own Divine Self? You had better a bullet in your heart than a doubt there.
• God is the Reality, the world or phenomenon is illusion.
• The body is simply the shadow and the real Self, the real Atman, is the Reality
• The real man, the true man, is the Divinity, God, nothing else but God.
• The real Atman, the true God, is beyond the reach of words and mind.
• Brahman cannot be the object of perception or thought. Mind and speech turn back from it in dismay
• There is something in you which is awake even in that deep, deep sleepcondition. That is your Real Self, that is Absolute Will, or Absolute Consciousness.
• People ask, are you a part of God? No, no; God cannot be divided, God cannot be rent asunder. You are no part of God; if God is Infinite, then you must be the whole God, not a part of God.
• Q. Do you belive in God?
• I know God. We believe in a thing we do not know, and which is simply forced on us. To belive in God, what does that mean? What do you know of him? I know God. I am He, I am He.
• Where one sees nothing else, hears nothing else, understands nothing else, there is Infinity .because so long as something else is beside you, you are limited and finite.
• The Infinite is Bliss. There is no Bliss in anything finite. So long as you are finite, there is no Bliss, no happiness for you. The Infinite is Bliss, the Infinite only is Bliss.
• Whoever comes to you, receive him as God, and at the same time do not look down upon yourself. If you are in jail today, you may be glorified tomorrow.
• Within you is the real happiness, within you is the mighty ocean of nectar divine. Seek it within you, feel it, feel it, it is here, the Self It is not the body, the mind, the intellect, the brain, it is not the desires or the desiring; it is not the objects of desire; above all, these ye are. All these are simply manifestations. Ye appear as the smiling flower, as the twinkling stars. What is there in the world which can make you desire any thing?
• The moment you turn towards these outside matters and want to grasp them and keep them, they will elude your grasp, will outrun you. The very moment you turn your back upon them and face the Light of lights, your inner Self, that very moment favourable circumstances will seek you. This is the Law.
• Whenever a man attaches himself to any worldly object, whenever a person begins to love an object for its own sake, whenever a man tries to seek happiness in that object, he will be deceived, he will find himself simply the dupe of the senses. You cannot find happiness by attaching yourself to worldly objects. That is the Law.
• Trust not in the mighty dollar. Trust in God. Trust not in this or that object, Trust in God.   Trust in your Atma or Self.
• Be not vain, be not proud. Never feel that anything belongs to your little self; it is God’s, your real Atma’s. Rise above the body. Feel and realize that you are the Infinite, the Supreme Self, and how can you be affected by passion or greed ?
• Live in your Godhead and you are free, your own master. Ruler of the Universe.
• The whole Universe serves one as his body, when he feels the Universal Soul as his very Self.
• Hunger and thirst are of the body and are felt by the mind, but he himself, the true Self, is not pained or disturbed. He, who realizes his own Divinity which is God, is not pained or disturbed by the fatigue, hunger or thirst of the body.
• Cultivate peace of mind; fill your mind with pure thoughts, and nobody can set himself against you. That is the Law.
• The Law is that a man should be at rest, at peace, undisturbed, and the body should always be in motion; the mind to be subjected to the Laws of Statics, and the body subjected to the Laws of Dynamics; the body at work and the internal Self always at rest. That is the Law. Be free.
• Let us fling aside the vulnerable little “I†which alone makes ”sin” in ourselves and others.
• Sinlessness belongs in reality to the real Self, the Atma, but by mistake it is attributed in practice to the body.
• Words like the following sound is like a hissing serpent to the people : Ye are Divinity Itself, the Holy of Holies, the World is No World; You are the All in All, the Supreme Power, the Power which no words can describe, no body or mind, ye are the pure “lam”; that you are.
• When shall I be free? When “I†shall cease to be.
• What is God? God is a Mystery.
• Who is it that faces you, who is it looks you straight in the face when you look at a person ? It is God within.
• The infinite potentiality, the infinite power latent in the finite form or figure, and the real meaning of the word seed, is the infinite within and not its outside or outward form, not that.
• The millionth descendant of the original seed has got the same infinite capability and potentiality which the original seed had.
• The Infinity within, the infinite capability or power is unchangeable, immutable. How can the Infinity die? That never dies.
• Through ignorance you call yourself the body; the body you are not. You are the infinite power, the divinity; the constant immutable, unchangeable One. That you are; know that and you find yourself inhabiting the whole world, inhabiting the whole universe.
• It is the One Infinite Rama that is being reflected through all these bodies. ignorant people come like dogs in this world. Please turn the tables- Come into this world like the master of the house of the looking-glass and mirror-house. Come into the world not as d-o-g but as g-o-d, and you will be the master of the mirror-house, you will be the owner of the whole universe.

• The whole world is a heaven, and God will never be deceived.
• It is a sin not to say: “I am Godâ€.
• According to Vedanta, the self-evident truth is that you are already God, nothing else but God ; your Godhead is not to be effected, it is simply to be known and realized or felt.
• Vedanta wants you to recognise the truth that all pleasure lies in giving, and not in asking or begging.
• According to Vedanta, the possession of any individual property is a most sacreligious deed against one’s Atman or inner Self.
• What is Practical Vedanta? Pushing, marching Labour and no stagnant Indolence: Enjoyment of work as against tedious drudgery; Peace of mind and no canker of suspicion; Organization and no desegregations; Appropriate reform and no conservative custom; Solid real feeling as against flowery talk; The poetry of facts as against speculative fiction; The logic of events as against the authority of departed authors; Living Realization and no mere dead quotations, Constitute Practical Vedanta.
• Vedanta, printed in books and  placed on shelves to be eaten up by worms, won’t do. You must live it.
• If Vedan at does not remove your chill; if it does not make you happy; if it does not cast off your burdens, then kick it aside.
• According to Vedanta, all pity is weakness.
• Vedanta appeals to, the masses simply because it is the teachings of their Bible, and it appeals to the educated Hindu because there is no philosophy worth the name under the Sun which does not support the Vedantic Monism, and no science which does not uphold and advance the cause of Vedanta or Truth.
• The very best method of spreading the Vedantic Philosophy is to live it, there is no other royal road.
• It is only when you cast yourself in a strange, indescribable sentiment, which is higher than both of us, that you find Me. This is what Vedanta tells you.
• If you want to realize an object, if you want to get anything, do not hunt after the shadow. Touch your own head. Go within you. Realize this and you will see that the stars are your handiwork; you will see that all objects of love, all the bewitching and fascinating things are simply your own reflection or shadow.
• You have the Heaven within you, the paradise, the home of bliss within you, and yet you are searching for pleasures in objects in the streets, searching for that thing outside, outside in the objects of the senses. How strange!
• You cannot be a slave of the flesh and at the same time be the master of the universe.
• Let all the great lecturers of the age come; let Christ or God Himself come and lecture; but lectures from others will be of no avail, unless you are prepared to lecture yourself.
• Vedanta wants you to rise above the little self, the small ego, through intense work.
• Vedanta requires you to work for its own sake,
• Work in Vedanta always means harmony with the Real Self and atonement with the universe.
• What is work? Intense work, according to Vedanta, is rest. All true work is rest.
• Keeping the body in active struggle and the mind in rest and love, means salvation from sin and sorrow right here in this life.
• Let the inner soul be at rest and the body be continually at work. The body, subject to the laws of dynamics, being in action, and the inner self always at statical rest.
• Let your work be impersonal; let your work be free from the taint of selfish egotism; let your work be just like the work of the stars and the sun; let your work be like that of the moon. Then alone can your worh be successful.
• Let the body and mind be continuously at work to such a degree that the labour may not be felt at all.
• Sacrifice your little self; forget it in the performance of your work, and success must be yours. It cannot be otherwise. The desire for success must die in your work before achieving success.
• Work in the spirit of an unaffected witness, free from all entanglement. Remain immune.
• Wherever you may be, work in the position of a giver and never in the position of a beggar, so that your work may be universal work, and not personal in the least.
• Incessant woric, incessant labour is the greatest ‘yoga’ for a man of the world. You are the greatest worker to the world when to yourself you are no worker.
• In order that you may have success, in order that you may prosper, you must, through your acts, by your own everyday life, burn your own body and muscles; cremate them in the fire of use. You must use them; you must consume your body and mind, put them in a burning state; crucify your body and mind; work, work; and then will light shine through you.
• Vedanta wants you to be at rest in your inner Self.
• 0 happy workers! Success must seek you when you cease to seek success.
• It is our selfish restlessness that spoils all our work.
• If you deserve, you need not desire; the objects of desire will be brought to you, will come to you. If you make yourself worthy, help must come to you.
• The very moment that you rise above the desire, the object of desire seeks you, and the very moment that you assume the craving, seeking, asking, begging attitude, you will be repulsed; you will not have, you cannot have the object of desire. Rise above the thing, stand above it, and it will seek you. That is the Law.
• Realize the Heaven within you, and all at once all the desires are fulfilled, all the misery and suffering is put an end to.
• Acts speak louder than words.
• Let your work be for work’s sake. Renounce your desires, rise above them and you find double peace, immediate rest and eventual fruition of desires. Remember that your desires will be realized only when you rise above them into supreme reality.
• When you consciously or unconsciously lose yourself in the Divinity, then and then only will the time be ripe for the fulfilment of desires.
• In order that your work should be successful, you should not mind the end, you should not care for the consequences or the result. Let the means and the end be brought together, let the very work be your end.
• No, the consequence and the result are nothing to me, failure and success are nothing to me; I must work because I love work; I must work for its own sake. To work is my aim; to keep in activity is my life. My soul, my real Atma, is enrgy itself, I must work.
• Worry not about the consequences, expect nothing from the people, bother not about favourable reviews of your work or severe criticism thereon.
• Be always a giver, a free worker; never throw your heart in a begging and expecting attitude. Get rid of the monopolizing habit.
• It is only when you let go the desire that it fructifies. So long as you keep your desire stretched, or go on desiring, willing, wishing, and yearning, it will not reach the bosom of the other party; it is only when you let it go that it penetrates the soul of the party concerned.
• Thought is another name for fate.
• The world and your surroundings are exactly what you think them to be.
• Just as you think, so you become. Call yourself a sinner and you must become a sinner ; call yourself a fool and you must become a fool, call yourself weak and there is no power in this world that can make you strong. Feel that omnipotence and   omnipotent you are.
• Change the feeling in an individual, his whole method of thinking will be a revolutionised.
• As an eagle cannot outsoar the atmosphere in which he floats, so thought cannot transcend the sphere of limitation.
• Thought and language are the same. You cannot think without language. The infant child knows no language and has no thought.
• Whoever dwells among thoughts dwells in the region of delusion and disease; and though he may appear wise and learned, yet his wisdom and learning are as hollow as a piece of timber eaten out by white ants.
• True education begins only when a man turns from all external aids to the Infinity within and becomes, as it were, a natural source of original knowledge or a spring of grand new ideas.
• The capability of quoting big long texts to show off our learning, nonsensical hair-splitting torture the sense of passages and ancient scriptures,  the study of subjects which we never have to use in life, is not education.
• The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things but enjoy the right things, not merely industrious but to love industry.
• If education does not bring me freedom and independence (moksha), fie upon it, away with it, I do not want it. If education keeps me bound, I have no use for it. 
• To carry out skilfully an idea into practice is one thing, but to grasp its fundamental meaning is quite another thing.
• The great difference in man and animal lies in this, that whereas the puppy or polly has by the law of heredity got almost all it requires for its perfection, the child will or can by education and adaptation so develop and evolve his inherited powers as to bring the whole world under his sway.
• Man is supposed to be higher than animals, inasmuch as his feelings are controlled by reason. 
• The child has no motives, yet it is one of the most active being son the Earth.
• What is life? A series of interruptions. Yes, it is so to the people who live on the surface of life, but not to one who lives as life (love).
• What brought the senses into existence? The elements. How do you know of these elements? Through the senses. Is not that reasoning in a circle? This establishes the illusory nature of the world in the wakeful state. 
• As long as the questioner and the object questioned about, remain, the prison-walls of maya are there, and there can be no rising above the Appearances. 
• All the philosophy of Europe and America is based on the experience of the wakeful state and takes little or no notice of the experience of the dreaming or deep sleep state. The Hindu says: “You start with imperfect data. How can your solution of the problem of the universe be correct?”
• All the objects in the world are simply like the lakes created by a hypnotised man on dry floor, and being of such nature, the knowledge of those objects also on which the doctors and professors pride and take airs of superiority, is nothing more than hypnotism.
• It is more advisable to attend to the matters which come next to your heart, which concern your business and bosom first; and the next world, that world of dreams, will take care of itself.
• Spiritual development does not germinate in the seed sown in the soil of earthly pleasures. 
• Believe always in the spiritual powers, in the infinite capacity of those with whom you come in contact. Give up judging, never form any particular opinion, never condemn. 
• The King’s very presence on his royal throne establishes order throughout the Durbar, so doth man’s resting on his Godhead, native glory, establish order and lifc through the whole race.
• A pair of tongs can catch almost anything else, but how can it turn back and grasp the very fingers which hold it? So the mind or intellect can in no way be expected to know the great Unknowable, which is its very source.
• The ‘Gnana’ or Knowledge portion of the Vedas is the real Veda, that alone has been referred to as Shruti (Inspired Revelation) by the writers on the six orthodox systems of Hindu Philosophy as well as the Jain and Buddhist writers.
• We fall from Eden the moment our bodily weakness makes itself felt. Hurried are we from Heaven the instant we taste of the tree of distinction and difference.   But we can regain the Paradise Lost by suffering the flesh to be crucified.
• Imbibe, therefore, the spirit of Sacrifice and reflect unto others all that you receive. Have no recourse to selfish absorption and you must be white.
• If you explain it (the Law of Karma) by saying it is God’s will, that it is His work ; that is no answer, that is simply evading the question; evading the question is unphilosophical, that is declaring your ignorance.
• Regard all those deeds and acts which if performed by you would be harmful or sinful as worst sins ; despise and loathe such acts of the world but hate not, depise not the doers of those acts or deeds. You have no right to misjudge them.
• There is no rose without a thorn. Unmixed good is not to be found in this world.  The All good is the only Self Supreme.
• “It is difficult to find happiness in oneself,†says Schopenhauer, “but it is impossible to find it anywhere else.â€
• Iron and gold are good for buying iron and gold, that is all; happiness is not of the same kind as these material objects, it cannot be purchased by gold and silver.
• Those, who believe their happiness depends upon particular conditions, will find the day of enjoyment ever recede from them and run away constantly like will-o-the-wisp.
• Like comes to the like. Have joy of God in you right here and the joy of success must gravitate towards you.
• Very happy is he and blessed is he whose life is a continuous sacrifice.
• Happy is he who turns the whole ‘world into a Heavenly Garden, by seeing the same impersonal breath of Life in the throngs of men and women as inspires in the rose gardens and oak groves.
• If you want to keep up your vitality, to preserve your health, the weight of life to be borne easily by the horse of nervous system, you ought to make the burden of egoistic thought lighter.
• Be true to yourself and never mind anything else in the world.
• The great cause of suffering in the world is that “we do not look within, we do hot form our own opinions, we take matters too much on trust, we rely on outside forces to do our thinking.”
• The painful criticism from friends or foes is a nightmare to wake you up to your true Self, God.
• Oh, Heaven is within you, seek Happiness not in the objects of senses; realize that happiness is within yourself.
• All Heaven is within you, the source of all pleasure is within you This being the case, how unreasonable it is to seek Happiness elsewhere.
• Man is the master of his own destiny.
• The entire world being but your own creation, your own idea, why think yourself a low, miserable sinner? Why not think yourself into a fearless self-reliant incarnation of Divinity?
• Rama says that success comes to you as a result of your unison with the All.   Suocess is always the result of goodness in you, the result of your absorption  and immersion in the Divinity. That is always the case.
• The man of freedom is he whose inner illumination casts a halo of beauty on all around him and from him radiates nothing but divine love.
• All nature pays homage to the man who is free, the whole universe bows down before him. I am That. You are free, whether this is appreciated today or not, it remains, a stern reality, and it must be realized sooner or later by all.
• You have no responsibility to anybody but to yourself. You are a heinous criminal to yourself you violate this most sacred law of Cheerfulness and Peace.
• In the Mantram OM (A-U-M) the first letter ‘A’ stands for this stern Reality, your Self, as underlying and manifesting the illusory material world of the wakeful state. ‘IT represents the psychic world, and the last letter ‘M’ denotes the Absolute Self as underlying the chaotic state and manifesting itself as all the Unknown.
• Woe unto science if it goes against the truth connected with the efficacy of the Sacred Syllable ‘AUM’.
• Happy is he who lives, moves and has his being in ‘AUM’. In order to come to these treasures within, or in order that the kingdom of Heaven may be unlocked, this is the key to be used.
• Love means practically realizing your oneness and identity with your neighbours, with all those who come in contact with you.
• Love is an art as well as a science. Scientific discoveries are only sparks and scintillations from the Grand Sun, Fire of Love, or Oneness-feeling.
• The only lawful law is love. To live in love is to live true to yourself.
• True love, like the sun, expands the Self. Attachment (Moh) like the frost congests and contracts the soul.
• Confound not love with attachment.
• Bhakti (love) is no crying; begging, negative condition. It is an indescribable sense of equality, beaming sweetness and divine recklessness. It is the seeing of All in all we see. It is seeing your own Self in where your eyes fall. It is to realize that All is Beauty, I am that. ‘Tat Tvam Asi’ or That Thou Art.
• Love divested of all carnality is spiritual illumination.
• Love or oneness feeling, when brought into play between two persons, dispels the illusion of Division.
• What wins in the struggle for existence? ‘Love’.
• Love means perception of beauty.                     
• Love is the only Divine law. Other Laws are organised robbery. Love alone has the right to break law.
• Love is misunderstood to such a degree, that the very mention of the word “Love” suggests to the dear people, the idea of cupidity and stupidity, instead of the divine flame.
• Love inspires; head expounds. Feeling always precedes thinking, as the body precedes clothes.
• All desire is love, and love is God, and that God you are.
• There is no great and no small; no love and no high where Love is.
• When you are centred in love, all miracles become possible.
• A man who has never loved can never realize God ; that is a fact.
• Fear is only congested love. Else, how could love conquer fear ?
• Feigned love, false feelings and assumed sentimentalism is an insult to God.
• Deprived of ease, afflicted by disease you are, when you stagnate in the slough of separation and division. You are perfect and whole when you realize yourself to be the Whole and the AIL
• What is disease? Contraction due to lack of love; shuddering at the flutter of shadows; crying at the day-dreams of danger.
• When anything is apparently going wrong, to quarrel with the surrounding, instead of setting us right with the Law of Love, is like breaking the telephone receiver for hearing the bad news from friends at the invisible end.
• It is true that there is nothing so poisonous as the company of gossips, believers in appearances, shameless slaves of shameful “respectability, “but where the Lord Love encamps, no impertinent tramps can loaf around. 
• 0 man! you yourself make all objects attractive   by   your looks, Looking at it with those eyes, you yourself shed your lustre upon the subject, and then you fall in love with it. 
• Time is bound to keep pace with love instincts. 
• First win the heart; then appeal to reason. Love might hope where reason would despair. The wind could not take off the coat from the traveller in the fable, but the Heat did. 
• How blessed is he whose property is stolen away ! Thrice blessed is he whose wife runs away, provided by such means he is brought in direct touch with the all Love.
• “Take my life and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.” (The word “Lord” in this poem does not mean the invisible bugbear sitting in heaven, catching cold in the clouds; “Lord” means the All, your fellow people).
• Love-’Tm the origin and end Of all the changeful universe, There is. Oh mankind, naught beyond; For all is strung on One alone, As are the beads upon the thread”   
• Work minus desire is a synonym       for the highest Renunciation or worship.
• Slowly and resolutely as a fly cleans its legs of the honey in which it had been caught, so remove we must every particle of attachment to forms and personalities.
• One after another the connections must be cut, the ties must snap, till the final concession in the form of death crowns all unwilling renunciation.
• Mercilessly rolls on, the wheel of Law. He who lives the Law, rides the Law. He who sets up his will against God’s will (i.e. the Law) must be crushed and suffer Promethean tortures.   
• This renunciation is described by Hindus as Jnana,   which means knowledge, that is, renunciation and knowledge are one and the same thing.   
• The knowledge which is synonymous with renunciation is the knowledge of the Truth, the knowledge of the real Atma, the knowledge of what you are. This knowledge is renunciation. Get that knowledge and you are a man of renunciation. 
• Renunciation has nothing to do with your place, position, or your bodily work; it has nothing to do with that.
• Renunciation simply places you at your best, places you on your vantage ground
• Renunciation simply enhances your powers, multiplies your energies        strengthens your force, and makes a God of you. It takes away all your anxiety and fear. You become fearless and happy.
• Work is done only when we get rid of the little selfish Ego. The moment you assert the selfish ego, your work is spoiled. The best work is the work that is done impersonally.   Renunciation means getting rid of this little personal, selfish ego, getting rid of the false idea of self.
• Renunciarion does not mean asceticism.
• Renunciation   means   making everything holy,
• Renouncing the child does not mean giving up all connections with the child but thinking the child, the grand son, to be god.

• You have no duties to discharge, you are responsible to nobody, you have no debt to pay, you are bound to none. Assert your individuality against all society and all nations and everything. That is the Vedantic Renunciation.
• Every thing you are. The ghosts and spirits, the gods and angels, the sinners and saints, all ye are. Know that, feel that, realize that, ye are free. This is the path of Renunciation.
• Renunciation; giving up egoistic life. Verily, verily, everlasting life lies in losing the congested life of personality.
• Renunciation   alone   leads   to immortality.
• Vedantic renunciation, y
