The test of ahimsa is the absence of jealousy. The man whose heart never cherishes even the thought of injury to anyone, who rejoices at the prosperity of even his greatest enemy, that man is the bhakta, he is the yogi, he is the guru of all.
Swami VivekanandaEvery action that helps us manifest our divine nature more and more is good; every action that retards it is evil.
Swami VivekanandaWhatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be; if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.
Swami Vivekananda"The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." Where goest thou to seek for the Kingdom of God, asks Jesus of Nazareth, when it is there, within you? Cleanse the spirit, and it is there. It is already yours. How can you get what is not yours? It is yours by right. You are the heirs of immortality, sons of the Eternal Father.
Swami Vivekananda
