What do we call the river? Every moment the water is changing, the shore is changing, every moment the environment is changing, what is the river then? It is the name of this series of changes.
Swami VivekanandaThe God which cannot give me food in this world, cannot give me Heaven in the other world
Swami VivekanandaMoths like me die by the thousands every minute. Her work goes on all the same. Glory unto Mother!
Swami VivekanandaThere is really no difference between matter, mind and Spirit. They are only different phases of experiencing the One.
Swami VivekanandaThe fault with all religions like Christianity is that they have one set of rules for all. But Hindu religion is suited to all grades of religious aspiration and progress. It contains all the ideals in their perfect form. For example, the ideal of Shanta or blessedness is to be found in Vasishtha; that of love in Krishna; that of duty in Rama and Sita; and that of intellect in Shukadeva. Study the characters of these and of other ideal men. Adopt one which suits you best.
Swami Vivekananda
