The uplift of the women, the awakening of the masses must come first, and then only can any real good come about for the country, for India.
Swami VivekanandaThe Gita is like a bouquet composed of the beautiful flowers of spiritual truths collected from the Upanishads.
Swami VivekanandaEvery time you think of doing some charity, you think there is some beggar to take your charity. If you say, "O Lord, let the world be full of charitable people!" - you mean, let the world be full of beggars also. Let the world be full of good works - let the world be full of misery. This is out-and-out slavishness!
Swami Vivekananda
