The forms have value only so far as they are expressions of the life within. If they have ceased to express life, crush them out without mercy.
Swami VivekanandaThere is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle.
Swami Vivekananda. . . If you are really my children, you will fear nothing, stop at nothing. You will be like lions. We must rouse India and the whole world. No cowardice.
Swami VivekanandaIn India the mother is the center of the family and our highest ideal. She is to us the representative of God, as God is the mother of the universe. It was a female sage who first found the unity of God, and laid down this doctrine in one of the first hy mns of the Vedas. Our God is both personal and absolute, the absolute is male, the personal, female. And thus it comes that we now say: 'The first manifestation of God is the hand that rocks the cradle'.
