The body is subject to the law of growth and decay, what grows must of necessity decay.
Swami VivekanandaThe coward, afraid of the lash, with one hand wipes his eyes and gives with the other. Of what avail are such gifts?
Swami VivekanandaNo authority can save us, no beliefs. If there is a God, all can find Him. No one needs to be told it is warm; all can discover it for themselves. So it should be with God. He should be a fact in the consciousness of every person.
Swami VivekanandaAll who have actually attained any real religious experience never wrangle over the form in which the different religions are expressed. They know that the soul of all religions is the same and so they have no quarrel with anybody just because he or she does not speak in the same tongue.
Swami Vivekananda
