Whether on the ground of materialism, or of intellect, or of spirituality, the compensation that is given by the Lord to every one impartially is exactly the same. Therefore we must not think that we are the saviours of the world. We can teach the world, a good many things, and we can learn a good many things from it too. We can teach the world only what it is waiting for.
Swami VivekanandaThe Indian idea is that the soul is formless. Whatever is form must break some time or other.
Swami VivekanandaThe Gita is like a bouquet composed of the beautiful flowers of spiritual truths collected from the Upanishads.
Swami VivekanandaThere is only one sin and it is: weakness. When I was a boy, I read Milton's Paradise Lost. The only good man I had any respect for was Satan. The only saint is that person who never weakens, faces everything, and determines die game.
