My boat is nearing the calm harbour from which it is never more to be driven out. Glory, glory unto Mother! (Referring to the Divine Mother of the Universe.) I have no wish, no ambition now. Blessed be Mother! I am the servant of Ramakrishna. I am merely a machine. I know nothing else. Nor do I want to know.
Swami VivekanandaHere in this blessed land, the foundation, the backbone, the life-centre is religion and religion alone.
Swami VivekanandaHelp and not fight. Assimilation and not destruction. Harmony and Peace and not dissension.
Swami VivekanandaThe goal of mankind is knowledge ... Now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.
Swami Vivekananda
