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.
Quotations
Swami Vivekananda
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.
Was there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book?
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.
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.
