Marriage is the truest goal for ninety-nine per cent of the human race, and they will live the happiest life as soon as they have learnt and are ready to abide by the eternal lesson - that we are bound to bear and forbear and that life to every one must be a compromise.
Swami VivekanandaThe Atman alone is eternal. Hospitals will tumble down. Railroad givers will all die. This earth will be blown to pieces, suns wiped out. The Atman endures for ever.
Swami VivekanandaIf you have knowledge and see a man weak, do not condemn him. Go to his level and help him if you can. He must grow.
Swami VivekanandaThis attachment of Love to God is indeed one that does not bind the soul but effectively breaks all its bondages.
Swami VivekanandaThese births and deaths are changes in nature which we are mistaking for changes in us.
Swami VivekanandaHere in India, it is religion that forms the very core of the national heart. It is the backbone, the bed-rock, the foundation upon which the national edifice has been built. Politics, power, and even intellect form a secondary consideration here. Religion, therefore, is the one consideration in India.
Swami Vivekananda
