Always discriminate-your body, your house, the people and the world are all absolutely unreal like a dream. Always think that the body is only an inert instrument. And the Atman within is your real nature.
Swami VivekanandaHow absurd to take the credit of doing the good act on oneself and lay the blame for the evil act on the Lord!
Swami VivekanandaAhimsa (non-killing), truthfulness, purity, mercy, and godliness are always to be kept.
Swami VivekanandaThis world, this universe which our senses feel, or our mind thinks, is but one atom, so to say, of the Infinite, projected on to the plane of consciousness; and within that narrow limit, defined by the network of consciousness, works our reason, and not beyond. Therefore, there must be some other instrument to take us beyond, and that instrument is called inspiration.
Swami Vivekananda
