“Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious.”

“You see many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun rises. Can you therefore say that there are no stars in the heavens during the day? Because you cannot find God in the days of your ignorance, say not that there is no God.”

“God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.”

“When divine vision is attained, all appear equal; and there remains no distinction of good and bad, or of high and low.”

“What Brahman is cannot be described. All things in the world — the Vedas, the Puranas, the Tantras, the six systems of philosophy — have been defiled, like food that has been touched by the tongue, for they have been read or uttered by the tongue. Only one thing has not been defiled in this way, and that is Brahman. No one has ever been able to say what Brahman is.”

“Can he rectify false weight whose own scales are uncertain? Can you enlighten your neighbor while you yourself have no light?”
