2. USA destroys the world at will and blazons its role as the messiah of democracy. Warmongering is not the democratic way.
3. Despite the UN being there, nations suffer horrible genocide simply because internal matters may not be interfered with.
4. US replaces regimes in countries creating political vacuum that is filled up by totalitarian regimes then that carry out genocide.
5. When you insult someone with a word whose meaning is unknown to the targeted person, it misfires and boomerangs on you.
6. Then when you deliberately insult and it offends the dignity of the person, you reap its long-term consequence. No escape there.
7. What you do unto others, you get back for sure in equal measure and often with interest compounded. Mark this and measure your deeds.
8. It is a crime to insult the pure and the godly and does for sure bring in karmic retribution in its wake. So, beware how you behave!

20. The sacrifice of our martyrs have not gone in vain despite the perfidies of the times that seem to upset it all. India shall live.
21. The more I meet scholars erudite in Sanskrit, the more my conviction grows that the study of Sanskrit is a national imperative.
22. The technique is to persist in the mental act of dissolving one's personality limitations and aver one's impersonal infinitude.
23. Netaji's legacy needs to be in the national limelight for the flourishing of our country. What is your take on it?
24. Are we as a nation too drawn to the past and not sufficiently forward-looking? Does this hinder our progress and keep us sterile?
25. We are to break free from all associations of the body if we are to enter the realm of the spiritual.

35. The massacre of INA soldiers by the British in the stealth of night at Neelgunge and Jhikargachha merits national condemnation.
36. Ramakrishna Mission must be kept above politics for it is our only hope of national regeneration and survival thereof.
37. Swamiji had eschewed politics from the Ramakrishna Mission and it must remain so. Its platform may not be used otherwise.

40. The gun salute at Belur Math in honour of late Atmasthanandaji was unfortunate and has precipitated political proceedings since.
41. Too much work destroys the spiritual mood, too little work fails to induce it. The optimal amount holds the key.

46. If in the melee of things, life seems insipid and not worth living, remember, my friend, you have me to love you still.
47. Our present reality is not the only one. This will pass and we will slip off into our aerial selves. Whither headed are we?
48. Let us clear the path for future civilisations, clear the debris, remove the ruins for life to flourish here on earth.
49. When you destroy civilisation, you destroy human hopes with it.

55. Religion is sectarian and, necessarily, narrow. Spirituality is universal and all-embracing and therein lies the idea of 'dharma'.
56. Ought our children to be made aware of our spiritual heritage or are we as a secular nation to submerge them in godlessness?

58. Vivekananda was so vast and all-encompassing in his utterances that it is easy to fractionally quote him and mislead people.
59. Hindus ought to take to the serious study of Sanskrit for access to their most precious literary and philosophical heritage.
60. Sanskrit is the lifeline of the nation and that has been taken away from us by governmental policy. Time to set things straight.
61. The Sanskrit tree has borne us the finest fruits for millenia and now it is being felled to suit a political purpose. Are we men?
62. Cowards compromise, not men having the courage of conviction and the character thereof. Arise India!
63. Give up this hypnosis that you are a helpless human and assert your godhead instead. Awake to the truth within and arise!
64. This secularism we supposedly practise is a form of diseased atheism, a decadent version of liberal living.
65. Controversies may rage and compromises may be made by one and all, but thou, my soul, anchor thyself steadfast unto character.
66. Clamour there is so much, so little there is character. Must they lead who are not fit to follow?
67. Spirituality unites, religion divides and politics disintegrates.Yet, the three must coexist to provide for the interplay of life.

74. If there be a heaven on earth, it is here in the human heart.
75. Drinking the poison of life, some become the ascetic Shiva. So, my mind, drink thou the sins and weaknesses of all.

The Lord awaits within
Anxious for thy call.
77. When night draws on and wraps the world in darkness,
Thy flame burns still to illumine my heart.
O Lord, Thou art my sole refuge.

92. Give up ego if you wish to love. In love there is only self-giving.
93. You hate the one that provides for you and yet you pray to please God. Will Providence be pleased by your prayer?

97. A man renounces worldly life, then falls in the pit of power. How strong is the grip of Maya!
98. There is a work here for most. For a handful a message there is to be delivered. They are the Messengers of God.
