From Him are all name and form; all the animals and men are from Him. He is the one Supreme. He who knows Him becomes free.
Swami VivekanandaThe very idea of an infinite in place would be a contradiction in terms, as a place must begin and continue in time.
Swami VivekanandaWith the attraction for lust and lucre working the other way, how many long for the realisation of God?
Swami VivekanandaSatisfied is no test of truth. Actuality is steadily far from idiosyncratic secure.
Swami VivekanandaIf you are a strong man, very good! But do not curse others who are not strong enough for you. ...Everyone says, "Woe unto you people!!" Who says, "Woe unto me that I cannot help you?" The people are doing all right to the best of their ability and means and knowledge. Woe unto me that I cannot lift them to where I am!
Swami VivekanandaWhen I Asked God for Strength He Gave Me Difficult Situations to Face When I Asked God for Brain & Brawn He Gave Me Puzzles in Life to Solve When I Asked God for Happiness He Showed Me Some Unhappy People When I Asked God for Wealth He Showed Me How to Work Hard When I Asked God for Favors He Showed Me Opportunities to Work Hard When I Asked God for Peace He Showed Me How to Help Others God Gave Me Nothing I Wanted He Gave Me Everything I Needed.
Swami Vivekananda
