Beware of compromises. I do not mean that you are to get into antagonism with anybody, but you have to hold on to your own principles in weal or woe and never adjust them to others' "fads" through the greed of getting supporters. Your รtman is the support of the universe - whose support do you stand in need of? Wait with patience and love and strength; if helpers are not ready now, they will come in time. Why should we be in a hurry? The real working force of all great work is in its almost unperceived beginnings.
Swami VivekanandaIf there's a God, we must see him and if there's a soul we must perceive it. Otherwise, it's better not to believe.
Swami VivekanandaThe first angle is, love questions not. It is not a beggar. ... When love asks nothing, [when it] gives everything. This is the real spiritual worship, the worship through love. Whether God is merciful is no longer questioned. He is God; He is my love. Whether God is omnipotent and almighty, limited or unlimited , is no longer questioned.
Swami VivekanandaEvery wave of passion restrained is a balance in your favor. It is therefore good policy not to return anger for anger, as with all true morality.
Swami Vivekananda
