I have a message for the world, which I will deliver without fear and care for the future. To the reformers I will point out that I am a greater reformer than any one of them. They want to reform only little bits. I want root-and-branch reform.
Swami VivekanandaThinking of objects, attachment to them is formed in a man. From attachment longing, and from longing anger grows.
Swami VivekanandaAs soon as you know the voice and understand what it is, the whole scene changes. The same world which was the ghastly battlefield of maya is now changed into something good and beautiful.
Swami VivekanandaCome out into the broad light of day, come out from the little narrow paths, for how can the infinite soul rest content to live and die in small ruts?
Swami VivekanandaBe brave! Be strong! Be fearless! Once you have taken up the spiritual fife, fight! Fight as long as there is any life in you! Even though you know that you are going to be killed, fight till you are killed! Don't die of fright! Die fighting! Don't go down till you are knocked down.
Swami Vivekananda
