One moment in infinite time is quite as good as any other moment.
If you believe in a God, you can see Him even now.
We think religion begins when you have realised something. It is not believing in doctrines, nor giving intellectual assent, nor making declarations. If there is a God, have you seen Him? If you say "no", then what right have you to believe in Him?
If you are in doubt whether there is a God, why do you not struggle to see Him? Why do you not renounce the world and spend the whole of your life for this one object?
Renunciation and spirituality are the two great ideas of India, and it is because India clings to these ideas that all her mistakes count for so little.
