Swami VivekanandaWe want today that bright sun of intellectuality joined with the heart of Buddha, the wonderful infinite heart of love and mercy. This union will give us the highest philosophy.
Swami VivekanandaMan as Atman is really free; as man he is bound, changed by every physical condition.
Swami VivekanandaThe greatest help to spiritual life is meditation. In meditation we divest ourselves of all material condition and feel our divine nature.
Swami VivekanandaThe will is stronger than anything else. Everything must go down before the will, for it comes from God. A pure and strong will is omnipotent.
Swami VivekanandaIf the Lord wills, we shall make this Math a great centre of harmony. Our Lord is the visible embodiment of the harmony of all ideals. He will be established on earth if we keep alive that spirit of harmony here. We must see to it that people of all creeds and sects, from the Brahmana down to the Chandala, may come here and find their respective ideals manifested.
Swami Vivekananda
