He who has no faith in himself can never have faith in God.
Quotations
Swami Vivekananda
The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
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.
A spring of infinite power is coiled up and is inside this little body and that spring is spreading itself.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. So we have to know how to act.
Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.
If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.
Was there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book?
