We find the vast majority of people in every country believing that there will be a time when this world will become perfect, when there will be no disease, nor death, nor unhappiness, nor wickedness. That is a very good idea, a very good motive power to inspire and uplift the ignorant. But if we think for a moment, we shall find on the very face of it that it cannot be so. How can it be, seeing that good and evil are the obverse and reverse of the same coin? How can you have good without evil at the same time?
Swami VivekanandaIf you want to live, go back to Christ. You are not Christians. Go back to Christ. Go back to him who had nowhere to lay his head. Better be ready to live in rags with Christ than to live in palaces without him.
Swami VivekanandaThe book is all in us. Fool, hearest not thou? In thine own heart day and night is singing that Eternal Music - Sachchidรขnanda, soham, soham - Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute, I am He, I am He.
Swami VivekanandaWe are what our considered opinion abide through us; so put up with assiduousness about what you storage. Natter are sub-. Line live; they travel far.
Swami Vivekananda
