This Maya is everywhere. It is terrible. Yet we have to work through it. The man who says that he will work when the world has become all good and then he will enjoy bliss is as likely to succeed as the man who sits beside the Ganga and says, "I will ford the river when all the water has run into the ocean."
Swami VivekanandaCalm and silent and steady work, and no newspaper humbug, no name-making, you must always remember.
Swami VivekanandaChristians are always wanting God to give them something. They appear as beggars before the throne of the Almighty.
Swami VivekanandaThe forms have value only so far as they are expressions of the life within. If they have ceased to express life, crush them out without mercy.
