"I should see God in the poor and it is for my salvation that I go
and worship them. The poor and the miserable are for our salvation, so
that we may serve the Lord, coming in the shape of the distressed,
coming in the shape of the lunatic, the leper, the sinner. Bold are my
words and let me repeat that it is the greatest privilege in our lives
that we are allowed to serve the Lord in all these shapes."
"Let all other vain gods disappear for the time from
our minds. This is the only god that is awake, our own race, everywhere
his hands, everywhere his feet, everywhere his ears; he covers
everything. All other gods are sleeping. What vain gods shall we go
after and yet cannot worship the god we see all around us, the Virat?
When we have worshiped this, we shall eb able to worship all other
gods."
"Liberation is only for him who gives up everything for
others, whereas others who tax their brain day and night harping on "my
salvation", "my salvation", wander about with their true well-being
ruined, both present and prospective."
"After so much austerity, I have understood this as the
real truth; God is present in every Jiva, there is no other God besides
that. Who serves Jiva serves God indeed."
"The national ideals of India are renunciation and service."
"Those who want to help mankind must take their own
pleasure and pain, name and fame, and all sorts of interests, and make a
bundle of them and throw them into the sea and then come to the Lord.
This is what all the masters said and did."
