All progress and power are already in every man; perfection is man's nature, only it is barred in and prevented from taking its proper course.
Swami VivekanandaIf a person who lives in God becomes miserable, what is the use of living in God? What is the use of such a God? Throw such a God overboard into the Pacific Ocean. We do not want such a God!
Swami VivekanandaDo you believe in that Infinite, good Providence working in and through you? If you believe that this Omnipresent One is present in every atom, is through and through, Ota-Prota, as the Sanskrit word goes, penetrating your body, mind and soul, how can you lose heart?
Swami VivekanandaIt is only work that is done as freewill offering to humanity and to nature that does not bring with it any binding attachment.
Swami VivekanandaWork, my children, work with your whole heart and soul! That is the thing. Mind not the fruit of work. What if you go to hell working for others? That is worth more than to gain heaven by seeking your own salvation... Sri Ramakrishna came and gave his life for the world. I will also sacrifice my life.
Swami Vivekananda
