Do you recall the story of the young Yogi in the Mahรขbhรขrata who prided himself on his psychic powers by burning the bodies of a crow and crane by his intense will, produced by anger?
Swami VivekanandaUntil we give up the world manufactured by the ego, never can we enter the kingdom of heaven. None ever did, none ever will.
Swami VivekanandaToo much faith in personality has a tendency to produce weakness and idolatry, but intense love for the Guru makes rapid growth possible.
Swami VivekanandaNo one should be judged by their defects. The great virtues a person has are his or her especially. But their errors are the common weakness of humanity and should never be counted in estimating a personโs character.
