We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. None else has the blame, none has the praise.
Swami VivekanandaWhere will you go to seek Brahman? He is immanent in all beings. Here, here is the visible Brahman! Shame on those who, neglecting the visible Brahman, set their minds on other things! Here is the visible Brahman before you as tangible as a fruit in one's hand! Can't you see? Here - here - is Brahman!
Swami VivekanandaThe forms have value only so far as they are expressions of the life within. If they have ceased to express life, crush them out without mercy.
Swami VivekanandaA few heart-whole, sincere, and energetic men and women can do more in a year than a mob in a century.
Swami VivekanandaPatanjali, declares that the true secret of evolution is the manifestation of the perfection which is already in every being; that this perfection has been barred and the infinite tide behind is struggling to express itself. These struggles and competitions are but the results of our ignorance, because we do not know the proper way to unlock the gate and let the water in. This infinite tide behind must express itself; it is the cause of all manifestation.
Swami Vivekananda
