I created an angel of Bimala, in order to exaggerate my own enjoyment. But Bimala is what she is. It is preposterous to expect that she should assume the role of an angel for my pleasure. The Creator is under no obligation to supply me with angels, just because I have an avidity for imaginary perfection."
"My day is done, and I am like a boat drawn on the beach, listening to the dance-music of the tide in the evening."
"I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy."
