Do not blame any supernatural being, neither be hopeless and despondent, nor think we are in a place from which we can never escape unless someone comes and lends us a helping hand.
Swami VivekanandaEverything is substance plus name and form. Name and form come and go, but substance remains ever the same.
Swami VivekanandaChrist, being man, had to see impurity and denounced it; but God, infinitely higher, does not see iniquity and cannot be angry.
Swami VivekanandaEvery act of charity, every thought of sympathy, every action of help, every good deed, is taking so much of self-importance away from our little selves and making us think of ourselves as the lowest and the least, and, therefore, it is all good. Here we find that Jnรขna, Bhakti, and Karma - all come to one point.
