  • THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.

  • The waves belong to the Ganges, not the Ganges to the waves. A man cannot realize God unless he gets rid of all such egotistic ideas as "I am such an important man" or "I am so and so". Level the mound of "I" to the ground by dissolving it with tears of devotion.
