If Jesus Christ was not perfect, then the religion bearing his name falls to the ground.
Swami VivekanandaDo one thing at a Time, and while doing it put your whole Soul into it to the exclusion of all else.
Swami VivekanandaAll action of Sattva, a modification of Prakriti characterised by light and happiness, is for the soul. When Sattva is free from egoism and illuminated with the pure intelligence of Purusha, it is called the self-centred one, because in that state it becomes independent of all relations.
Swami VivekanandaEverything that can weaken us as a race we have had for the last thousand years. It seems as if during that period the national life had this one end in view, viz how to make us weaker and weaker, till we have become real earthworms, crawling at the feet of every one who dares to put his foot on us. Therefore my friends, as one of your blood, as one that lives and dies with you, let me tell you that we want strength, strength, and every time strength.
Swami Vivekananda
