Man is man so long as he is struggling to rise above nature, and this nature is both internal and external.
Swami VivekanandaOur first duty is not to hate ourselves, because to advance we must have faith in ourselves first and then in God. Those who have no faith in themselves can never have faith in God.
Swami VivekanandaWe must always bear in mind that we are not going to be free, but are free already. Every idea that we are bound is a delusion.
Swami Vivekananda
