Each work has to pass through these stagesโridicule, opposition, and then acceptance. Those who think ahead of their time are sure to be misunderstood.
Swami VivekanandaWe must have friendship for all; we must be merciful toward those that are in misery; when people are happy, we ought to be happy; and to the wicked we must be indifferent. These attitudes will make the mind peaceful.
Swami VivekanandaFrom attachment comes longing, and longing breeds anger. From anger comes delusion, and from delusion, confused memory. From confused memory comes the ruin of discrimination; and from the ruin of discrimination, a man perishes.
Swami Vivekananda
