God cannot be realized through the intellect. Intellect can lead one to a certain extent and no further. It is a matter of faith and experience derived from that faith.
If a man reaches the heart of his own religion, he has reached the heart of the others, too. There is only one God, and there are many paths to him.
Sense perceptions can be and often are false and deceptive, however real they may appear to us. Where there is realization outside the senses, it is infallible. It is proved not by extraneous evidence but in the transformed conduct and character of those who have felt the real presence of God within.
Truth is the right designation of God.
To say that a single human being, because of his birth, becomes an untouchable, unapproachable or invisible is to deny God.
To reject the necessity of temples is to reject the necessity of God, religion and earthly existence.
To bear all kinds of tortures without a murmur of resentment is not possible for a human being without the strength that comes from God.
To a people famishing and idle, the only acceptable form in which God can dare appear is work and promise of food as wages.
Though philosophical Hinduism has no other god but God, it cannot be denied that practical Hinduism is not so emphatically uncompromising as Islam.
Though God may be Love, God is Truth above all.
This feeling of helplessness in us has arisen from our deliberate dismissal of God from our common affairs.
This belief in God has to be based on faith which transcends reason.
The Vedas are as indefinable as God and Hinduism.
The sum of all that lives is God.
