When a man is perfect, he sees perfection in others. When he sees imperfection, it is his own mind projecting itself.
Swami VivekanandaThe "ego" like its correlative "non-ego", is the product of the body, mind etc. The only proof of the existence of the real Self is realisation.
Swami VivekanandaLove conquers in the long run. It won't do to become impatient - wait, wait - patience is bound to give success. . . .
Swami VivekanandaWe find the vast majority of people in every country believing that there will be a time when this world will become perfect, when there will be no disease, nor death, nor unhappiness, nor wickedness. That is a very good idea, a very good motive power to inspire and uplift the ignorant. But if we think for a moment, we shall find on the very face of it that it cannot be so. How can it be, seeing that good and evil are the obverse and reverse of the same coin? How can you have good without evil at the same time?
Swami Vivekananda
