Books are only made so that they may point the way to a higher life; but no good results unless the path is trodden with unflinching steps!
Swami VivekanandaMan's free agency is not of the mind, for that is bound. There is no freedom there.
Swami VivekanandaGive up all self, all egotisms get out of anger, lust, give all to God. "I am not, but Thou art; the old man is all gone, only Thou remainest." "I am Thou." Blame none; if evil comes, know the Lord is playing with you and be exceeding glad.
Swami VivekanandaCrossing over mountains, rivers, arid oceans, setting at naught, as it were, the obstacles of the distance of space and time, the blood of Indian thought has flowed, and is still flowing into the veins of other nations of the globe, whether in a distinct or in some subtle unknown way. Perhaps to us belongs the major portion of the universal ancient inheritance.
