1. Rare, indeed, is love in this world. It is necessity all the way.
2. Nivedita looms large in our vision as her sesquicentenary approaches. 28 October, 2017, the hallowed date for all.
3. The more you read, the less you read.
The less you read, the more you read.
This is the riddle of realisation.
4. What a vast symmetry the Swami was!
What a splendid symphony of the Soul!
He preached and thundered, O, not like us,
But af'er reaching the goal.
5. Cosmetic changes will not save the planet but essential realisation will.
6. Let us not defile our religion with kitchen-consciousness. Let hygiene prevail over fear of the defiling touch. Om!
7. Muhurtam jwalitam shreyo, na tu dhumaayitam chiram (Mahabharat).
It is better to ignite for a moment than to smoke away for ages.
8. Non-violence is a spiritual imperative for the brahman, an economic necessity for the vaishya but a political harakiri for the kshatriya.
9. We should as a nation practise clarity of thinking and speech. There should be precision in our methods and originality in expression.
10. The education system should be so geared as to produce men of merit, it being measured in terms of originality of approach and execution of a project at hand. Only then will we be creative enough to come up in the comity of nations as a significant contributor to world culture instead of merely basking in the glory of days gone by when India was a premier civilisation. It is time to completely overhaul the academic system and replace its Macaulay method by the Gurukul method of study complemented by modern Western scientific training, an arduous task though for the nation to adopt in a rapidly evolving global technological civilisation. But this remains the only hope for us to be ourselves and rooted to our soil, and once this is achieved, this shallowness of the intellect as abounds today will probably die its natural death and usher in a fresh flow of creative culture for the nation to flourish.
11. I fail to see how our country with mere individual effort or combination of selfish gain may attain to maturity of civilisation.
12. Whether you like it or not, whether you wish it or not, your thoughts are ever influencing others. Think pure, help move the world.
13. Individual glory is inconsequential save as the instrument for raising the collective consciousness. The impersonal must supersede the personal, else, personality ruins all.
14. In letters of blood was the letter of love written by the revolutionaries to their beloved mother, India.
15. This manhood has to be shed for Godhead to reveal and that is the real Manhood. The Real Man's image is God whose image man is.
16. The selfishness of nationalism bred the violence of the Second World War. Be human, beware of narrow nationalism!
17. The fanatic camouflages malicious ends behind surface nationalism. Beware! Fall not prey to verbal seduction as Germany did.
18. The British donned the facade of fair-play and civilisation to serve their colonial-imperial ends. Beware of such sophistry!
19. Stop blaming the govt. for every odd thing and take up the task of nation-building. Individual effort is no mean achiever.
20. Who are these men playing bat and ball with our destiny while we, like the spectators in the Colosseum, watch our own gladiator end?
