What is the world that is to be given up? It is here. I am carrying it all with me. My own body. It is all for this body that I put my hand voluntarily upon my fellow human beings, just to keep it nice and give it a little pleasure. It is all for the body that I injure others and make mistakes.
Swami VivekanandaEvery soul is destined to be perfect, and every being, in the end, will attain the state of perfection.
Swami VivekanandaWhatsoever has form must be the result of combinations of particles and requires something else behind it to move it.
Swami VivekanandaLet us calmly and in a manly fashion go to work, instead of dissipating our energy in unnecessary frettings and fumings. I, for one, thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything he really deserves. The past was great no doubt, but I sincerely believe that the future will be more glorious still.
Swami Vivekananda
