We are for ever trying to make our weakness look like strength, our sentiment like love, our cowardice like courage, and so on.
Swami VivekanandaMan can become like God and acquire control over the whole universe if he multiplies infinitely his centre of self-consciousness.
Swami VivekanandaPurity, patience and perseverance are the three essentials to success and above all love.
Swami VivekanandaIt is weakness, says the Vedanta, which is the cause of all misery in this world. Weakness is the one cause of suffering. We become miserable because we are weak. We lie, steal, kill and commit other crimes, because we are weak. We die because we are weak. Where there is nothing to weaken us, there is no death nor sorrow. We are miserable through delusion. Give up the delusion and the whole thing vanishes.
Swami Vivekananda
