Yes, the words of the Mother can be heard as clearly as we hear one another. But one requires a fine nerve to hear Mother's words.

Self-love is the first teacher of self-renunciation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If you are angry, and then happy, the next moment the anger passes away. Out of that anger you manufactured the next state. These states are always interchangeable. Eternal happiness and misery are a child's dream.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
As soon as I think that I am a little body, I want to preserve it, to protect it, to keep it nice, at the expense of other bodies then you and I become separate.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You are the Children of God, the sharers of immortal bliss, holy and perfect beings. You divinities on earth. Come up, O lions, and shake off the delusion that you are sheep you are souls immortal, spirits free, blest and eternal you are not matter, you are not bodies matter is your servant,not you the servant of matter.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Forgive offences by the million. And if you love all unselfishly, all will by degrees come to love one another.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
He who wants to become a Bhakta must be strong, must be healthy.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Arise! Awake! and stop not until the goal is reached.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This external worship of images has, however, been described in all our Shastras as the lowest of all the low forms of worship. But that does not mean that it is a wrong thing to do.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Work done for the Self gives no bondage. Neither desire pleasure nor fear pain from work. It is the mind and body that work, not I. Tell yourself this unceasingly and realise it. Try not to know that you work.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Morality is the struggle of the bound will to get free and is the proof that we have come from perfection. . . .
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Business is business, no child's play.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Oh, if only you knew yourselves! You are souls you are Gods. If ever I feel like blaspheming, it is when I call you man.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Come out into the Universe of Light. Everything in the Universe is Yours, stretch out your arms and Embrace it with Love
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In Shankaracharya we saw tremendous intellectual power, throwing the scorching light of reason upon everything.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all good things will be added unto you. Follow God and you shall have whatever you desire.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Shri Ramakrishna use to say, As Long as I Live, so long do I learn. That man or that society which has nothing to learn is already in the jaws of death.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If a man, day and night, thinks he is miserable, low and nothing, nothing he becomes. If you say yea, yea, I am, I am, so shall you be.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
That is good. It is a law of nature. That is the way with all founders of religion. Without persecution superior ideas cannot penetrate into the heart of society.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Pariahs, our fellow beings, ought to be educated by the higher castes.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In this external world, which is full of finite things, it is impossible to see and find the Infinite. The Infinite must be sought in that alone which is infinite, and the only thing infinite about us is that which is within us, our own soul. Neither the body, nor the mind, nor even our thoughts, nor the world we see around us, is infinite.
Swami Vivekananda
