The potency of thought unsuppressed but
unembodied is far greater than that of embodied that is translated into
action. And when the action is brought under due control, it reacts upon and regulates the thought itself. Thought thus translated into action becomes a prisoner and is brought under subjection.

Man often becomes what he believes himself to
be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is
possible that I May end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the
contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the
capacity to do it even If may not have it at the beginning.

'Be thou certain, none can perish, trusting
Me,' says the Lord, but let it not be understood to mean that our sins will
be washed away by merely trusting Him without an y striving. Only he who
struggles hard against the allurements of sense objects and turns in tears
and grief to the Lord will be comforted.

It is easy enough to say, 'I do not believe in
God.' For God permits all things to be said of Him with impunity. He looks
at our acts. And any breach of His Law carries with it, not its vindictive,
but its purifying, compelling, punishment.

The path of self-purification is hard and
steep. To attain to perfect purity one has to become absolutely passion free
in thought, speech and action; to rise above the opposing currents of love
and hatred, attachment and repulsion.

I believe that a healthy soul should inhabit a
healthy body. To the extent, therefore, that the soul grows into health and
freedom from passion, to that extent the body also grows into that state.

All our learning or recitation of the Vedas,
correct knowledge of Sanskrit, Latin, Greek and what not will avail us
nothing if they do not enable us to cultivate absolute purity of heart. The
end of all knowledge must be building up of character.

People drink because of the conditions to
which they are reduced. It is the factory labourers and others that drink.
They are forlorn, uncared for and they take to drink. They are no more
vicious by nature than teetotalers are saints by nature. The majority of
people are controlled by their environment.

I have a horror of smoking as of wines.
Smoking I consider to be a vice. It deadens one's conscience and is often
worse than drink in that it acts imperceptible. It is a habit which is
difficult to get rid of when once it seizes hold of a person. It is an
expensive vice. It fouls the breath, discolors teeth and sometimes even
causes cancer. It is an unclean habit.

Smoking is in a way a greater curse than drink
inasmuch as the victim does not realize its evil in time. It is not regarded
as assign of barbarism, it is even a claimed by the civilized people. I can
only say, let those who can, give it up and set the example.
