Do not stand on a high pedestal and take 5 cents in your hand and say, here, my poor man, but be grateful that the poor man is there, so by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself.It is not the reciever that is blessed, but it is the giver.Be thankful that you are allowed to exercise your power of benevolence and mercy in the world, and thus become pure and perfect.
Swami VivekanandaGive up bondage; become a son, be free, and then you can "see the Father", as did Jesus.
Swami VivekanandaChrist said, "Resist not evil", and we do not understand it until we discover that it is not only moral but actually the best policy, for anger is loss of energy to the man who displays it. You should not allow your minds to come into those brain-combinations of anger and hatred.
Swami VivekanandaWhen the body is still healthy and diseaseless, When old age has not yet attacked it
Swami VivekanandaIt will be a great pity if any feeling of jealousy or egotism gain ground amongst you.
Swami Vivekananda
