Salvation means knowing the truth. We do not become anything; we are what we are. Salvation [comes] by faith and not by work. It is a question of knowledge! You must know what you are, and it is done. The dream vanishes. This you [and others] are dreaming here. When they die, they go to [the] heaven [of their dream]. They live in that dream, and [when it ends], they take a nice body [here], and they are good people.
Swami VivekanandaKnow that every time you feel weak, you not only hurt yourself but also the cause. Infinite faith and strength are the only conditions of success.
Swami VivekanandaAll the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
Swami VivekanandaChristians are always wanting God to give them something. They appear as beggars before the throne of the Almighty.
Swami VivekanandaThis craving for health, wealth, long life, and the like - the so - called good - is nothing but an illusion.
Swami Vivekananda
