“It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never

This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good heart whatever they might have to say.”

religions as we would have them to respect our own, a friendly study of the
world's religions is a sacred duty.”

“Even in small matters, we can say, our intellect is not resolute. It will be resolute only if we fix our minds on one purpose and cling to it with discrimination, only if we work without looking for immediate results. At present, whether in politics or social reform we leap from one branch to another. I began with the illustration of a ball of earth and told you that, even if we concentrate on that, we can realise the atman.”
