The Bhakta (devotee) renounces all little loves for the almighty and omnipresent love.
Swami VivekanandaTest everything, try everything, and then believe it, and if you find it for the good of many, give it to all.
Swami VivekanandaJesus Christ was willing to admit every good man to the family of God. It is not the man who believes a certain something, but the man who does the will of the Father in heaven, who is right. On this basis-being right and doing right-the whole world can unite.
Swami VivekanandaMan stands in materialism; you and I are materialists. Our talking about God and Spirit is good; but it is simply the vogue in our society to talk thus: we have learnt it parrot-like and repeat it. So we have to take ourselves where we are as materialists, and must take the help of matter and go on slowly until we become real spiritualists, and feel ourselves spirits, understand the spirit, and find that this world which we call the infinite is but a gross external form of that world which is behind.
Swami Vivekananda
