Change is always subjective. To talk of evil and misery is nonsense, because they do not exist outside. If I am immune from all anger, I never feel angry. If am immune from all hatred, I never feel hatred.
Swami VivekanandaEka-Nishtha or devotion to one ideal is absolutely necessary for the beginner in the practice of religious devotion.
Swami VivekanandaThe human will stands beyond all circumstances. Everything must go down before the will, for that comes from God Himself; a pure and a strong will is omnipotent. Before it all the powers, even of nature, must bow down, succumb, and become its servants - the strong gigantic, infinite will in man.
Swami VivekanandaAll progress and power are already in every man; perfection is man's nature, only it is barred in and prevented from taking its proper course.
Swami Vivekananda
