5. The mantra must thunderous run through the system and evolve out of the animal self a divine being capable of shaking the world.
6. It is human life that is most precious, that shines effulgent in its passage to the other world.
7. Whither we come from, whither depart, for what purpose we stay here for this brief flicker of a moment ?

9. কারুর সময় নেই | সব নিজ আবর্তে ব্যস্ত | এ পৃথিবীতে বৈরাগ্যই একমাত্র সম্বল | বাকি সব প্রহেলিকামাত্র |

10. Man is greater than the religion he follows for he is God incarnate and it is the realisation of this truth that is at the kernel of all thought, however obscure it may seem to the surface vision.
11. Human fraternal feelings can never be promoted through religion. It ever divides human society along lines of belief.

12. In silence the breath dissolves into serenity supreme.

24. Let not the current of daily work erase for once the memory of my mother who remains the source of it all ever.
25. Desires, they produce sadness in their wake. Dispassionate work pays better.

47. FREEDOM FOR OUR DAUGHTERS

49. Study the Bhagavad Geeta religiously and arrive at some sort of an understanding about Hinduism to begin with.
50. BE CONSCIOUS
For a Hindu to remain in ignorance of his own religion is as despicable as it is for an Indian to remain in ignorance of his national history. Come on and see things clear in the light of Vivekananda, the history and philosophy of your motherland.
Written by Sugata Bose
51. Too much restriction on one's life arising out of scriptural injunctions is productive of sterility in thinking. Freedom's the call.

Written by Sugata Bose

92. We have to revisit our scriptures and read into them for fresh solutions to our current problems.
93. Clinging to the personality has been the undoing of all spiritual movements in the past.

94. How many of you have heard of Ghazwa-e-Hind? Those of you who have, do you realise its implications on the fate of India?
98. When Pakistan talks law, it is Charlie at his best !
100. Pakistan bounced and bled India but is now ducking under India's bouncers. Running to the referee (read : UN) to outlaw bouncers from India. Must the ICC (read : UN) intervene? The next destination for Pakistan is, for sure, Washington D.C. What will be India's response?

52. The ideology that you subscribe to leaves its mark on your personality. So, fanatical religions produce fanatics galore.
53. We hear a lot about 9/11. How about 8/6 and 8/9?
54. How people attempt to rationalise the irrational ! How they bring in tortuous logic to substantiate insubstantial ideas touted as truth !

Service to our parents must not end with their passage to the other world but must be renewed with added vigour, this time for them manifest in the larger consciousness of the motherland.

58. Why did Shyam Benegal subscribe to the unproven theory that Netaji had married and so showed him in his film on the leader?
59. Would Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi have listened to Bapu and spun yarn to free India?

63. Election over at Tripuri. Massive defeat suffered by Mahatma's nominee. Pattabhi pulverised by patriot. Mahatma rises to the occasion by stooping low to restore order. And it is order, indeed, cold commandment to Congressmen to boycott Bose in the Working Committee meeting at Tripuri. Split in Congress imminent. British and the Muslim League to benefit. Bose resigns, Gandhi pretends sympathy. Partition looms large as Bose escapes and Congress non-cooperate with Bose still. Gandhi loses control. Nehru, Patel, Jinnah, Mountbatten seal the deal and the motherland is mutilated. Gandhi pretends yet again by fasting to stop riots and to secure Pakistan the promised funds but does not do so to prevent Partition. Father of the Nation, indeed, but which nation?
64. April 13, 1919 to April 13, 2019 is hundred years. What is the significance of this centenary that is in the offing?

69. P.N. Tagore, that is, Rash Behari Bose in disguise on the eve of departure by ship to Japan. The year, 1915. This was the last disguise of the redoubtable revolutionary in India which hoodwinked the wily British intelligence for yet another time.

78. Sri Ramakrishna was so irked to see that Michael Madhusudan Dutt had converted to Christianity. He, henceforth, could not talk to him any further.
79. STOP CONVERSION
Stop converting the children of Hindu father and Muslim mother to Islam, or, of Muslim father and Hindu mother to Islam. Let them grow up embracing the best of both cultures into synthetic enlightened beings.
