Even the lowest of the Hindus, the Pariah, has less of the brute in him than a Briton in a similar social status.
Swami VivekanandaIt is the duty of every person to contribute in the development and progress of India.
Swami VivekanandaThe more we grow in Love, Virtue and Holiness, the more we see Love, Virtue and Holiness outside.
Swami VivekanandaThere is to be found in every religion the manifestation of the struggle toward freedom. It is the groundwork of all morality, of unselfishness, which means getting rid of the idea that human beings are the same as this little body.
Swami Vivekananda...never try to follow another's path for that is his way, not yours. When that path is found, you have nothing to do but fold your arms and the tide will carry you to freedom.
Swami VivekanandaGod is true. The universe is a dream. Blessed am I that I know this moment that I have been and shall be free all eternity; ... that I know that I am worshiping only myself; that no nature, no delusion, had any hold on me. Vanish nature from me, vanish these gods; vanish worship; ... vanish superstitions, for I know myself. I am the Infinite. All these - Mrs. So-and-so, Mr. So-and-so, responsibility, happiness, misery - have vanished. I am the Infinite. How can there be death for me, or birth? Whom shall I fear? I am the One. Shall I be afraid of myself? Who is to be afraid of whom?
Swami Vivekananda
