The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
Quotations
Swami Vivekananda
Hanuman, the devotee of Rama, said: When I identify myself with the body, O Lord, I am Thy creature, eternally separate from Thee. When I identify myself with the soul, I am a spark of that Divine Fire which Thou art. But when I identify myself with the Atman, I and Thou art one.
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.
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will. “I will drink the ocean”, says the persevering soul; “at my will mountains will crumble up”.
We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary.Thoughts live; they travel far.
Was there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book?
