If the whole responsibility is thrown upon our own shoulders, we shall be at our highest and best; when we have nobody to grope towards, no devil to lay our blame upon, no Personal God to carry our burdens, when we are alone responsible, then we shall rise to our highest and best. I am responsible for my fate, I am the bringer of good unto myself, I am the bringer of evil.
Swami VivekanandaThe first angle is, love questions not. It is not a beggar. ... When love asks nothing, [when it] gives everything. This is the real spiritual worship, the worship through love. Whether God is merciful is no longer questioned. He is God; He is my love. Whether God is omnipotent and almighty, limited or unlimited , is no longer questioned.
Swami VivekanandaLet him who has courage in his mind and love in his heart come with me. I want none else.
Swami VivekanandaThe greatest help to spiritual life is meditation. In meditation we divest ourselves of all material condition and feel our divine nature.
Swami VivekanandaThe power is with the silent ones, who only live and love and then withdraw their personality. They never say โmeโ and โmineโ; they are only blessed in being instruments
