The God which cannot give me food in this world, cannot give me Heaven in the other world
Swami VivekanandaMan's free agency is not of the mind, for that is bound. There is no freedom there.
Swami VivekanandaKnow this also to be one of the spiritual practices, a discipline for God - realisation. Its aim also is Self - realisation.
Swami VivekanandaWe must recognise that duty and morality vary under different circumstances; not that the man who resists evil is doing what is always and in itself wrong, but that in the different circumstances in which he is placed it may become even his duty to resist evil.
Swami VivekanandaWhat is the world that is to be given up? It is here. I am carrying it all with me. My own body. It is all for this body that I put my hand voluntarily upon my fellow human beings, just to keep it nice and give it a little pleasure. It is all for the body that I injure others and make mistakes.
Swami Vivekananda
