The only religion that ought to be taught is the religion of fearlessness. Either in this world or in the world of religion, it is true that fear is the sure cause of degradation and sin. It is fear that brings misery, fear that brings death, fear that breeds evil. And what causes fear? Ignorance of our own nature.
Swami VivekanandaKnow this also to be one of the spiritual practices, a discipline for God - realisation. Its aim also is Self - realisation.
Swami VivekanandaWe want the education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one's own feet.
Swami VivekanandaDo you believe in that Infinite, good Providence working in and through you? If you believe that this Omnipresent One is present in every atom, is through and through, Ota-Prota, as the Sanskrit word goes, penetrating your body, mind and soul, how can you lose heart?
Swami Vivekananda
