Shun all lowness, narrowness & shallowness in religious
thought & experience. Be wider than the widest horizons, be
loftier than the highest Kanchenjunga, be profounder than the
deepest oceans.

To see the composition of the sun or the lines of Mars is doubt-
less a great achievement; but when thou hast the instrument
that can show thee a man's soul as thou seest a picture, then
thou wilt smile at the wonders of physical Science as the play-
things of babies.
*
Knowledge is a child with its achievements; for when it has
found out something, it runs about the streets whooping and
shouting; Wisdom conceals hers for a long time in a thoughtful
and mighty silence.
*
Science talks and behaves as if it had conquered all knowledge:
Wisdom, as she walks, hears her solitary tread echoing on the
margin of immeasurable Oceans.
*
Selfishness is the only sin, meanness the only vice, hatred the
only criminality. All else can easily be turned into good, but
these are obstinate resisters of deity.
*
The world is a long recurring decimal with Brahman for its inte-
ger. The period seems to begin and end, but the fraction is eter-
nal; it will never have an end and never had any real beginning.
*
The beginning and end of things is a conventional term of our
experience; in their true existence these terms have no reality,
there is no end and no beginning.
