We can never lose what is really ours. Who can lose his being? Who can lose his very existence? If I am good, it is the existence first, and then that becomes colored with the quality of goodness. If I am evil, it is the existence first, and that becomes colored with the quality of badness. That existence is first, last, and always; it is never lost but ever present.
Swami VivekanandaThe same fire that cooks a meal for us may burn a child, and it is no fault of the fire if it does so; the difference lies in the way in which it is used.
Swami VivekanandaMarriage or non-marriage, good or evil, learning or ignorance, any of these is justified, if it leads to the goal.
Swami Vivekananda
