When the body is still healthy and diseaseless, When old age has not yet attacked it
Swami VivekanandaThese practices - non-killing, truthfulness, non-stealing, chastity, and non-receiving - are to be practised by every man, woman, and child; by every soul, irrespective of nation, country, or position.
Swami VivekanandaInfinite patience, infinite purity, and infinite perseverance are the secret of success in a good cause.
Swami VivekanandaThe root of evil is in the illusion that we are bodies. This, if any, is the original sin.
Swami VivekanandaHe is everywhere, the pure and formless One, the Almighty and the All-merciful. "Thou art our father, Thou art our mother, Thou art our beloved friend, Thou art the source of all strength; give us strength. Thou art He that beareth the burdens of the universe; help me bear the little burden of this life." Thus sang the Rishis of the Vedas. And how to worship Him? Through love. "He is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and the next life."
