If there is inequality in nature, still there must be equal chance for all - or if greater for some and for some less - the weaker should be given more chance than the strong. In other words, a Brahmin is not so much in need of education as a Chandala. If the son of a Brahmin needs one teacher, that of a Chandala needs ten. For greater help must be given to him whom nature has not endowed with an acute intellect from birth. It is a madman who carries coals to Newcastle. The poor, the downtrodden, the ignorant, let these be your God.
Swami VivekanandaTruth does not pay homage to any society, ancient or modern. Society has to pay homage to Truth or die.
Swami VivekanandaThe older I grow, the more I see behind the idea of the Hindus that man is the greatest of all beings.
Swami VivekanandaAll the forces that are working in this body have been produced out of food; we see that every day.
Swami VivekanandaJesus Christ was God - the Personal God become man. He has manifested Himself many times in different forms and these alone are what you can worship. God in His absolute nature is not to be worshipped. Worshipping such God would be nonsense. We have to worship Jesus Christ, the human manifestation, as God. You cannot worship anything higher than the manifestation of God. The sooner you give up the worship of God separate from Christ, the better for you.
Swami Vivekananda
