Just as the law of gravitation existed before its discovery and would exist if all humanity forgets it, so it is with the laws that govern the spiritual world. The moral, ethical and spiritual relations between soul and soul and between individual spirits and the Father of all spirits were there before their discovery and would remain even if we forget them.
Swami VivekanandaTo be more free is the goal of all our efforts, for only in perfect freedom can there be perfection.
Swami VivekanandaEven if our every attempt is a failure, and we bleed and are torn asunder, yet, through all this, we have to preserve our heart - we must assert our Godhead in the midst of all these difficulties.
Swami VivekanandaFirst get rid of the delusion "I am the body," then only will we want real knowledge.
Swami VivekanandaBlame neither man, nor God, nor anyone in the world. When you find yourselves suffering, blame yourselves, and try to do better.
Swami Vivekananda
