All the religions of the world describe God pre-eminently as the Friend of the friendless, Help of the helpless, and Protector of the weak.
All the dry ethics of the world turn to dust because apart from God they are lifeless.
All religions enjoined worship of the One God who is all-pervasive. He is present even in a drop of water or in a tiny speck of dust.
A personal selfish prayer is bad whether made before an image or an unseen God.
All of us with one voice call one God differently as Parmatma, Ishwara, Shiva, Vishnu, Rama, Allah, Khuda, Dada-Hormuzda, Jehova, God and an infinite variety of names.
A mind not set on God is given to wandering and lacks the quality of a temple of worship.
A fear-stricken person can never know God, and one who knows God will never fear a mortal man.
You may pluck out my eyes, but that cannot kill me. You may chop off my nose, but that will not kill me. But blast my belief in God, and I am dead.
What I want to achieve, what I have been striving and pining for these thirty years, is self-realization, that is, to see God face to face.
What God may have enabled me to do is but a repayment of debt, and he who repays a debt deserves no praise.
To me God is truth and love, God is ethics and morality, God is fearlessness.
To me Truth is God and there is no way to find Truth except the way of nonviolence.
The purer I try to become, the nearer I feel to be to God.
Since nothing else that I see merely through the senses can or will persist, He alone is.
