Whatever kinds of strength we have, if we do not have the strength of Dharma, all is futile. Real strength is ‘Daivabala’ and ‘Dharmabala’, the strengths that come from God and from Dharma. Dharma displays morality. (SSB 1972,  p. 200)

India stands forth among the nations of the world as Dharmaraja, with her loyalty and steady faith in peace and mutual cooperation for noble ends. America is Arjuna, ready with her weapons of incalculable destructive power. Russia is Bhima, with her formidable might. India’s strength lies in her adherence to Dharma. All other countries whose strength lies in their arms can earn victory only when they surrender ultimately to the force of Righteousness. If we safeguard Dharma, Dharma in its turn will safeguard us. Dharma is the lifeblood of Prema. Where there is Peace, there will be Divinity, and, where there is Divinity, there will be Bliss. (SSS Vol.8, p. 86)

‘Satyam Veda, Dharmam chara’ - has been the clarion call of Upanishads, the repositories of Indian culture. The crocodile’s strength depends upon its being in water; the strength of Dharma depends upon its being practised. (GV, p. 56)

The Lord said ‘I am residing in your heart as the atma, and therefore when you are able to call to order your own strength, I will be able to add to it!’ Krishna said, ‘when my aspect of divinity which is externally present, and my own aspect which is internal to you, as atma, come together, then only useful results will come’. (SSB 1974, p. 186)

You have to cultivate four types of strength. Strength of body, intellect, discrimination and conduct, then you become unshakable; you are on the path of spiritual victory. (SSS Vol.2,  p. 28)

Whenever an idea of hurting others or taking someone else s belongings or spreading falsehood about others enters your mind, turn to God for help. Ask Him to give you strength, for all these ideas are born of fear and cowardice, qualities which in turn come from weakness. Repeat the name of God or hum a bhajan, and you will find that all your bad thoughts will flee, leaving you free from evil. (SSS Vol.10)
