    • Repeating the name of God, meditation, worship, offering

    libations in sacred fire, penance--all these are for bringing forth


    renunciation. The efforts of those who have not attained
    renunciation are like those of a man who is pulling at oars all the
    while that the boat is at anchor.

    Conversation with Priya Nath Sinha. Recorded in Bengali. Complete Works, 5: 395

    • The only God to worship is the human soul in the


    human body.
    • Realise religion. That is all there is to do.
    • Real religion is one, but we quarrel with the forms, the
    symbols, the illustrations.
