Different creeds are but different paths to reach the same God.

You see many stars at night in the sky but find them not when the sun rises; can you say that there are no stars in the heaven of day? So, O man! Because you behold not God in the days of your ignorance, say not that there is no God.

You speak of doing good to the world. Is the world such a small thing? And who are you, pray, to do good to the world? First realise God, see Him by means of spiritual discipline. If He imparts power you can do good to others; otherwise not.

Common men talk bagfuls of religion but do not practise even a grain of it. The wise man speaks a little, even though his whole life is religion expressed in action.

One man may read the Bhagavata by the light of a lamp, and another may commit a forgery by that very light; but the lamp is unaffected. The sun sheds its light on the wicked as well as on the virtuous.
spiritual hinduism
God has revealed to me that only the Paramatman, whom the Vedas describe as the Pure Soul, is as immutable as Mount Sumeru, unattached, and beyond pain and pleasure.

As long as I live, so long do I learn.

You see many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun rises. Can you therefore say that there are no stars in the heavens during the day? Because you cannot find God in the days of your ignorance, say not that there is no God.
Many people think they cannot have knowledge or understanding of God without reading books. But hearing is better than reading, and seeing is better than hearing. Hearing about Benares is different from reading about it; but seeing Benares is different from either hearing or reading.

He is born in vain, who having attained the human birth, so difficult to get, does not attempt to realise God in this very life

One does not care for the cage when the bird has flown away from it. And when the bird of life flies away, no one cares for the body left behind.

One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.
truth
The world is indeed a mixture of truth and make-believe. Discard the make-believe and take the truth.
Unless one always speaks the truth, one cannot find God Who is the soul of truth.
