"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Can we see God? Of course not. Can we know God? Of course not. If God can be known, He will be God no longer. Knowledge is limitation. But I and my Father are one: I find the reality in my soul. These ideas are expressed in some religions, and in others only hinted. In some they were expatriated. Christ's teachings are now very little understood in this country. If you will excuse me, I will say that they have never been very well understood.
Swami VivekanandaFirst, let us be Gods, and then help others to be Gods. "Be and make." Let this be our motto. Say not man is a sinner. Tell him that he is a God. Even if there were a devil, it would be our duty to remember God always, and not the devil.
Swami VivekanandaThis is the one great idea to understand that our power is already ours, our salvation is already within us.
Swami VivekanandaThere is no good in store so long as malice and jealousy and egotism will prevail.
Swami VivekanandaAccording to us, there are three things in the makeup of man. There is the body, there is the mind, and there is the soul.
