Swamiji's renowned aphorisms that are widely in use across the nation.

ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗಾಗಿ ಆಸ್ತಿ ಮಾಡುವುದು ಬೇಡ. ಮಕ್ಕಳನ್ನೇ ಆಸ್ತಿಯನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿ.
"Do not create wealth for your children; instead, make your children the wealth."
ಬೇಡುವ ನಾಲಿಗೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಯತ್ತಿದ್ದರೆ ಕೊಡುವ ಕೈಗಳಿಗೆ ಕೊರತೆ ಇಲ್ಲ.
"If there is sincerity in the tongue that asks, there will be no lack in the hands that give."
ಕಾಡುಪ್ರಾಣಿಗಳು ಕಾಡಿನಲ್ಲಿವೆ; ಕಾಡುವ ಪ್ರಾಣಿಗಳು ನಾಡಿನಲ್ಲಿವೆ.
"Wild animals are in the forest; the troubling creatures are in the nation."
ಸಾಧನೆ ಮಾತನಾಡಬೇಕು. ಮಾತನಾಡುವುದೇ ಸಾಧನೆಯಾಗಬಾರದು.
"Achievements should speak for themselves; speaking alone should not become the achievement."
ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ನನ್ನವರೆನ್ನಿ - ತೊಂದರೆ ಇಲ್ಲ; ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ನನ್ನದೆನ್ನಿ - ತೊಂದರೆ ತಪ್ಪಿದ್ದಲ್ಲ.
"If everyone thinks 'they are mine' – there is no trouble; if everyone thinks 'everything is mine' – trouble is inevitable."
