Religion to be true must satisfy what may be termed humanitarian economics, that is, where the income and the expenditure balance each other.
Religion taught us to return good for evil.
Religion should be dearer than life itself.
Religion is the tie that binds one to one's Creator, and whilst the body perishes, as it has to, religion persists even after death.
Religions are different roads converging to the same point.
The essence of true religious teaching is that one should serve and befriend all.
All religions were, at bottom, one, though they differed in detail and outward form like the leaves on a tree.
I would beseech you not only to be pure beyond suspicion but I would ask you to combine with stainless purity, great wisdom and great ability.
I should wish to die if a man who is impure should parade his purity in front of me.
Tulsidas's Ramayana is a notable book because it is informed with the spirit of purity, pity and piety.
Ramanama is for the pure at heart and for those who want to attain purity and remain pure.
Like the watch, the heart needs the winding of purity, or the Dweller ceases to speak.
A resolute and wise refusal to take part in festivities will be an incentive for introspection and self-purification.
Civil disobedience can only lead to strength and purity.
