With the attraction for lust and lucre working the other way, how many long for the realisation of God?
Swami VivekanandaThe bane of sects, especially in Bengal, is that if any one happens to have a different opinion, he immediately starts a new sect, he has no patience to wait.
Swami VivekanandaBlame neither man, nor God, nor anyone in the world. When you find yourselves suffering, blame yourselves, and try to do better.
Swami VivekanandaYou may meditate on whatever you like, but I shall meditate on the heart of a lion. That gives strength
Swami VivekanandaAction will come. Fill yourselves with the ideal; whatever you do, think well on it. All your actions will be magnified, transformed, deified, by the very power of the thought. If matter is powerful, thought is omnipotent. Bring this thought to bear upon your life, fill yourselves with the thought of your almightiness, your majesty, and your glory.
Swami Vivekananda
