18. Our country needs solidarity, a coordination, a union of wills for it to manifest a mighty power. Help her along this channel by stopping all shallow infighting, this bickering over petty domestic issues, and develop your collective strength to empower her.

57. Social work is bound to flounder and fail unless spirituality be its basis. Many a philanthropist does charity merely to seek social recognition.
58. I exhort atheists to read thoroughly 'The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda' before next they voice their uninformed opinions on the Sanatan Dharma.

97. Far above the din of terrestrial life lies the peace we call God, and, yet, it is He who interpenetrates life itself to enact this terrestrial drama. His manifold aspect includes all layers and shades of phenomenal life, yet, transcendent He abides in His existential reality of undivided consciousness whose first aberration is the flow of perennial bliss out of which issues all life.
98. Behind the screen of this wondrous universe stands the effulgent One in whose light the universe shines.
