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.
Quotations
Swami Vivekananda
Was there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book?
The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
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.
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.
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.
We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary.Thoughts live; they travel far.
