Whenever there is a conflict between the pure heart and the intellect, always side with the pure heart.
Swami VivekanandaAll differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.
Swami VivekanandaTo be unselfish, perfectly selfless, is salvation itself; for the man within dies, and God alone remains.
Swami VivekanandaNot only we can, but some have reached perfection; so no matter what finer bodies come, they could only be on the relative plane and could do no more than we, for to attain freedom is all that can be done.
Swami VivekanandaI reached Ghazipur three days ago. Here I am putting up in the house of Babu Satish Chandra Mukherji, a friend of my early age. The place is very pleasant. Close by flows the Ganga, but bathing there is troublesome, for there is no regular path, and it is hard work wading through sands.
Swami Vivekananda
