When a man has reached the highest, when he sees neither man nor woman, neither sect nor

creed, nor colour, nor birth, nor any of these differentiations, but goes beyond and finds that
divinity which is the real man behind every human being -- then alone he has reached the
universal brotherhood, and that man alone is a Vedantist. C.W 1.391-92

The one great idea that to me seems to be clear, and comes out through masses of superstition in
every country and in every religion, is the one luminous idea that man is divine, that divinity is
our nature. C.W. 2. 193

For if there is one common doctrine that runs through all our apparently fighting and
contradictory sects, it is that all glory, power, and purity are within the soul already; C.W.3.284

Without dispassion for the world, without renunciation, without giving up the desire for
enjoyment, absolutely nothing can be accomplished in the spiritual life. C.W. 7.193 (From the
Diary of a Disciple*

Realising is making it a part of our lives by constant thinking of it. This constant thought or
Dhyana is as oil that pours in one unbroken line from vessel to vessel; Dhyana rolls the mind in
this thought day and night and so helps us to attain to liberation. Think always "Soham, Soham";
this is almost as good as liberation. Say it day and night; realisation will come as the result of this
continuous cogitation. This absolute and continuous remembrance of the Lord is what is meant
by Bhakti. C.W. 7. 38. INSPIRED TALKS
