Infinite perfection is in every man, though unmanifested. Every man has in him the potentiality of attaining to perfect saintliness, Rishihood, or to the most exalted position of an Avatรขra, or to the greatness of a hero in material discoveries.
Swami VivekanandaLet me draw your attention to one thing which unfortunately we always forget: that is - "O man, have faith in yourself."
Swami VivekanandaMy faith is in the younger generation, the modern generation. Out of them will come my workers. They will work out the whole problem like lions
Swami VivekanandaWe are all born idolaters, and idolatry is good, because it is in the nature of man. Who can get beyond it? Only the perfect man, the God-man. The rest are all idolaters. So long as we see this universe before us, with its forms and shapes, we are all idolaters. This is a gigantic symbol we are worshipping. He who says he is the body is a born idolater.
Swami Vivekananda
