We, we, and none else, are responsible for what we suffer. We are the effects, and we are the causes.
Swami VivekanandaIt is always for greater joy that you give up the lesser. This is practical religion-the attainment of freedom, renunciation. Renounce the lower so that you may get the higher. Renounce! Renounce! Sacrifice! Give up! Not for zero. Not for nothing. But to get the higher.
Swami VivekanandaEvery work has got to pass through hundreds of difficulties before succeeding. Those that persevere will see the light, sooner or later.
Swami Vivekananda
