If there's a God, we must see him and if there's a soul we must perceive it. Otherwise, it's better not to believe.
Swami VivekanandaEvery time you think of doing some charity, you think there is some beggar to take your charity. If you say, "O Lord, let the world be full of charitable people!" - you mean, let the world be full of beggars also. Let the world be full of good works - let the world be full of misery. This is out-and-out slavishness!
Swami VivekanandaThis ego - the less there is of it, the nearer I am to that which I really am: the universal body.
