“Otherwise, we’ll never have the right answers when these pressure groups- racists, super patriots, whatever you want to call them- tag every move toward racial justice as communist-inspired, Zionist inspired, Illuminati inspired, Satan inspired... part is some secret conspiracy to overthrow the Christian civilization.” “So, if you want to be a good Christian, you mustn’t act like one. That makes sense.”

“We should, therefore, follow reason and also sympathize with those who do not come to any sort of belief, following reason. For it is better that mankind should become atheist by following reason than blindly believe in two hundred millions of gods on the authority of anybody. What we want is progress, development, realization.

“Sins are very low degrees of self manifestation; manifest your Self in a high degree. That is the one thing to remember; all of us can do that. Never say, “no”, never say “I cannot”, for you are infinite. Even time and space are as nothing compared with your nature. You can do anything and everything, you are almighty”

“Do I believe in a mystery; the unexplained phenomenon that is life itself? The greater something that illuminates inconsequence in our lives; that give us something to strive for as well as the humility to brush ourselves down&start all over again? Then yes, I do. It is the source of art, of beauty, of love, &proffers the ultimate goodness to mankind. That to me is God. That to me is life. That is what I believe in”
