The guide, the guru, the leader, the teacher, has passed away; the boy, the student, the servant, is left behind.
Swami VivekanandaIn the world take always the position of the giver. Give everything and look for no return. Give love, give help, give service, give any little thing you can, but keep out barter. Make no conditions and none will be imposed on you. Let us give out of our own bounty, just as God gives to us.
Swami VivekanandaIshvara is the highest manifestation of the Absolute Reality, or in other words, the highest possible reading of the Absolute by the human mind. Creation is eternal, and so also is Ishvara.
Swami VivekanandaMy faith is in the younger generation, the modern generation. Out of them will come my workers. They will work out the whole problem like lions
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
