Chemistry ceases to improve when one element is found from which all others are deductible. Physics ceases to progress when one force is found of which all others are manifestations. So religion ceases to progress when unity is reached, which is the case with Hinduism.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I fervently wish no misery ever came near anyone yet it is that alone that gives us an insight into the depths of our lives, does it not? In our moments of anguish, gates barred forever seem to open and let in many a flood of light.

Cut the bondage of all worldly affections go beyond laziness and all care as to what becomes of you.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Every atom is working and resisting every thought in the mind. Everything we see and know is but the resultant of these two forces.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In every attempt there will be one set of men who will applaud, and another who will pick holes. Go on doing your own work, what need have you to reply to any party?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I love my nation, I cannot see you degraded, weakened any more than you are now. Therefore I am bound for your sake and for truth's to cry, Hold! and to raise my voice against this degradation of my race. Give up these weakening mysticism and be strong.
