Come out into the broad light of day, come out from the little narrow paths, for how can the infinite soul rest content to live and die in small ruts?
Swami VivekanandaThere is nothing beyond God, and the sense enjoyments are simply something through which we are passing now in the hope of getting better things.
Swami VivekanandaAs long as a man thinks, this struggle must go on, and so long man must have some form of religion.
Swami VivekanandaHe who is the servant of all is their true master. He never becomes a leader in whose love there is a consideration of high or low. He whose love knows no end and never stops to consider high or low has the whole world lying at his feet.
Swami VivekanandaBe not in despair, the way is very difficult, like walking on the edge of a razor; yet despair not, arise, awake, and find the ideal, the goal.
Swami VivekanandaDo not be afraid of a small beginning. great things come afterwards. Be courageous. Do not try to lead your brethren, but serve them. The brutal mania for leading has sunk many a great ships in the waters of life. Take care especially of that, i.e. be unselfish even unto death, and work.
Swami Vivekananda
