Those who are ignorant of the supreme purpose of life will never be able to attain nirvana (liberation) in spite of their observance of the vratas (vows) and niyamas (rules) of religious conduct and practice of shila (celibacy) and tapas (penance).
The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child
The cosmos is interesting rather than perfect, and everything is not part of some greater plan, nor is all necessarily under control.
Let your aims be common, and your hearts of one accord, and all of you be of one mind, so you may live well together.
Be mindful of your duty to God, and do good works; and again, be mindful of your duty, and believe; and once again: be mindful of your duty, and do right. God loves the doers of good.
