Too much faith in personality has a tendency to produce weakness and idolatry, but intense love for the Guru makes rapid growth possible.
Swami VivekanandaThe animal has its happiness in the senses, the human beings in their intellect, and the gods in spiritual contemplation. It is only to the soul that has attained to this contemplative state that the world really becomes beautiful.
Swami VivekanandaRenunciation, and renunciation alone, is the real secret, the Mulamantra, of all Realisation.
Swami Vivekananda
