Surely, conversion is a matter between man and his Maker who alone knows His creatures' hearts.
Our prayer is a heart search. It is a reminder to ourselves that we are helpless without His support.
Conversion without a clean heart is a denial of God and religion.
I recognise no God except the God that is to be found in the hearts of the dumb millions.
I claim to know my millions. All the hours of the day I am with them. They are my first care and God that is to be found in the hearts of the dumb millions.
God to be God must rule the heart and transform it.
God accepts the sacrifice of the pure in heart.
There is as much need for a change of heart among the Hindus and Mussalmans as there is among the British, before a proper settlement is arrived at.
My heart rebels against any foreigner imposing on my country the peace which is here called Pax-Britannica.
My heart is drawn backwards and forwards between the spinning wheel and books.
Devotion required by the Gita is no soft-hearted effusiveness.
Rama Nama should come from the heart. In that event, Rama Nama could become an effective remedy against all ailments. A man who believes in Rama Nama would not make a fetish of the body but would regard it as a means of serving God. And for making it into a fit instrument for that purpose, Rama Nama is the sovereign means. To install Rama Nama in the heart requires infinite patience. It might even take ages. But the effort is worthwhile. Rama Nama cannot come from the heart unless one has cultivated the virtues of truth, honesty and purity within and without.
Prayer from the heart can achieve what nothing else can in the world.
Nothing has saddened me so much in life as the hardness of heart of educated people.
