Unselfishness is God. One may live on a throne, in a golden palace, and be perfectly unselfish; and then he is in God. Another may live in a hut and wear rags, and have nothing in the world; yet, if he is selfish, he is intensely merged in the world.
Swami VivekanandaReligion and religion alone is the life of India, and when that goes India will die, in spite of politics, in spite of social reforms, in spite of Kubera's wealth poured upon the head of every one of her children.
Swami VivekanandaThe guide, the guru, the leader, the teacher, has passed away; the boy, the student, the servant, is left behind.
Swami VivekanandaThe mistake is that we cling to the body when it is the spirit that is really immortal.
Swami Vivekananda
