Every idea that strengthens you must be taken up and every thought that weakens you must be rejected.
Swami VivekanandaThe calm man is not the man who is dull. You must not mistake Sattva for dullness or laziness. The calm man is the one who has control over the mind waves. Activity is the manifestation of inferior strength, calmness, of the superior.
Swami VivekanandaThe bane of sects, especially in Bengal, is that if any one happens to have a different opinion, he immediately starts a new sect, he has no patience to wait.
Swami VivekanandaDo one thing at a Time, and while doing it put your whole Soul into it to the exclusion of all else.
Swami VivekanandaMay I be born again and again, and suffer thousands of miseries so that I may worship the only God that exists, the only God I believe in, the sum total of all souls-and, above all, my God the wicked, my God the miserable, my God the poor of all races, of all species, is the special object of my worship.
Swami Vivekananda
