• We are the eyes of the cosmos. So that in a way, when you look deeply into somebody's eyes, you're looking deep into yourself, and the other person is looking deeply into the same self.

• Just think, Vishnu sleeps in the cosmic ocean, and the lotus of the universe grows from his navel. On the lotus sits Brahma, the creator. Brahma opens his eyes, and a world comes into being, governed by an Indra. Brahma closes his eyes, and a world goes out of being. The life of a Brahma is 432,000 years. When he dies, the lotus goes back, and another lotus is formed, and another Brahma. Then think of the galaxies beyond galaxies in infinite space, each a lotus, with a Brahma sitting on it, opening his eyes, closing his eyes.

• It is interesting that Hindus, when they speak of the creation of the universe do not call it the work of God, they call it the play of God, the Vishnu lila, lila meaning play. And they look upon the whole manifestation of all the universes as a play, as a sport, as a kind of dance — lila perhaps being somewhat related to our word lilt

• Sabíamos que el mundo ya no sería el mismo. Algunas personas rieron, otras lloraron, la mayoría guardó silencio. Recordé la línea de la escritura hindú, el Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu está intentando persuadir al Prince de que debe cumplir con su deber y, para impresionarle, adopta su forma de múltiples brazos y dice: "Ahora me he convertido en la Muerte, la destructora de mundos". Supongo que todos pensamos eso, de una forma u otra.

• El soñador supremo es Vishnu, que flota en el Océano Lácteo cósmico, acurrucado en las espirales de la serpiente abisal Ananta, cuyo nombre significa Interminable. En primer plano aparecen los cinco hermanos Pandava, héroes de la epopeya Mahabharata, con Draupadi, su esposa: alegóricamente, ella es la mente y ellos son los cinco sentidos.

• But on the heights of the Himalayas I have a place where I am determined nothing shall enter except pure truth. There I want to work out this idea about which I have spoken to you today. There are an Englishman and an Englishwoman in charge of the place. The purpose is to train seekers of truth and to bring up children without fear and without superstition. They shall not hear about Christs and Buddhas and Shivas and Vishnus - none of these.

• We're at the end of the cycle. You've all known it since childhood. In the Hindu division of the ages, this is the Kali Yuga, the dark age. At the end of a cycle, Vishnu takes incarnation as a person. Vishnu is that aspect of God that preserves and protects life. When Vishnu leaves, Shiva comes.

• La próxima vez que alguien me diga que cree en Dios, le diré 'Oh, ¿en cuál? ¿Zeus? ¿Hades? ¿Júpiter? ¿Marte? ¿Odín? ¿Thor? ¿Krishna? ¿Vishnu? ¿Ra? Si dicen 'Sólo Dios. Sólo creo en un Dios', les diré que son casi tan ateos como yo. Yo no creo en 2.870 dioses, y ellos no creen en 2.869.

• Estamos importando el hinduismo a América. Todo el pensamiento de su karma, de la meditación, del hecho de que no hay fin de la vida y hay esta rueda sin fin de la vida, todo esto es el hinduismo. Cantos también. Muchos de esos cantos son a dioses hindúes - Vishnu, Hare Krishna. El origen de todo esto es demoníaco. No podemos permitir que esas cosas entren en América. Tenemos la mejor defensa, si se quiere - una buena ofensiva.

• Let them like the Tibetans, chew the cud of their "om mane padme hum" innumerable times, or, as in Benares, count the name of the God Ram-Ram-Ram (etc. with or without charm) on their fingers; or honour Vishnu with his thousand names of invocation, Allah with his ninety-nine; or they may make use of the prayer-wheels and the rosary: the main thing is that they are settled down for a time at this work and are tolerable to look at. This kind of prayer has been invented for the benefit of the pious who have thought and elevations of their own.

• I believe in the Church of Baseball. I've tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance.

• Una profesión de que somos una nación "bajo Dios" es idéntica, a efectos de la cláusula de establecimiento, a una profesión de que somos una nación "bajo Jesús", una nación "bajo Visnú", una nación "bajo Zeus" o una nación "bajo ningún dios", porque ninguna de estas profesiones puede ser neutral con respecto a la religión.
