Every action that helps us manifest our divine nature more and more is good; every action that retards it is evil.
Swami VivekanandaWe shall have to work like lions, keeping the ideal before us, without caring whether "the wise ones praise or blame us".
Swami VivekanandaLook not back. No, not even if you see the dearest and nearest cry. Look not back, but forward. We cannot stop. If we stop we die. We have either to go forward or to go backward. We have either to progress or to degenerate.
Swami VivekanandaThe Jivanmukta ('the living free' or one who knows) alone is able to give real love, real charity, real truth, and it is truth alone that makes us free.
Swami Vivekananda
