Swami VivekanandaSomething cannot be made out of nothing. Nor can something be made to go back to nothing.
Swami VivekanandaOne possessing Vairagya does not understand by Atman the individual ego but the All-pervading Lord, residing as the Self and Internal Ruler in all. He is perceivable by all as the sum total.
Swami VivekanandaMany a time comes when we want to interpret our weakness and cowardice as forgiveness and renunciation.
Swami VivekanandaAll who have actually attained any real religious experience never wrangle over the form in which the different religions are expressed. They know that the soul of all religions is the same and so they have no quarrel with anybody just because he or she does not speak in the same tongue.
Swami Vivekananda
