All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
Swami VivekanandaSoft-brained people, weak-minded, chicken-hearted , cannot find the truth. One has to be free, and as broad as the sky.
Swami VivekanandaDo not wait for anybody or anything. Do whatever you can. Build your hope on none.
Swami VivekanandaWe must become free. We are free; the work is to know it. We must give up all slavery, all bondage of whatever kind. We must not only give up our bondage to earth and everything and everybody on earth, but also to all ideas of heaven and happiness.
Swami VivekanandaAll who have actually attained any real religious experience never wrangle over the form in which the different religions are expressed. They know that the soul of all religions is the same and so they have no quarrel with anybody just because he or she does not speak in the same tongue.
Swami Vivekananda
