I, for one, thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything they really deserve.
Swami VivekanandaReligion is being and becoming. Religion is the manifestation of the Divinity already in man.
Swami VivekanandaI love my nation, I cannot see you degraded, weakened any more than you are now. Therefore I am bound for your sake and for truth's to cry, "Hold!" and to raise my voice against this degradation of my race. Give up these weakening mysticism and be strong.
Swami VivekanandaWe must always remember that God is Love. "A fool indeed is he who, living on the banks of the Ganga, seeks to dig a little well for water. A fool indeed is the man who, living near a mine of diamonds, spends his life in searching for beads of glass." God is that mine of diamonds. We are fools indeed to give up God for legends of ghosts or flying hobgoblins. It is a disease, a morbid desire.
Swami Vivekananda
