From the high spiritual flights of the Vedanta philosophy, of which the latest discoveries of science seem like echoes, to the low ideas of idolatry with its multifarious mythology, the agnosticism of the Buddhists and the atheism of the Jains, each and all have a place in the Hinduism religion.
Swami VivekanandaI have come to this conclusion that there is only one country in the world which understands religion - it is India.
Swami VivekanandaThough an atom is invisible, unthinkable, yet in it are the whole power and potency of the universe.
Swami VivekanandaMarriage or non-marriage, good or evil, learning or ignorance, any of these is justified, if it leads to the goal.
Swami VivekanandaThe only way to study the mind is to get at facts, and then intellect will arrange them and deduce the principles.
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
