You know it already that each one of us is the effect of the infinite past the child is ushered into the world not as something flashing from the hands of nature, as poets delight so much to depict, but he has the burden of an infinite past for good or evil he comes to work out his own past deeds
Swami Vivekananda

Unity in variety is the plan of the universe.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Even the lowest of the Hindus, the Pariah, has less of the brute in him than a Briton in a similar social status. This is the result of an old and excellent religious civilization. This evolution to a higher spiritual state is possible only through discipline and education.

Infinite strength is religion and God.
Swami Vivekananda

To be unselfish, perfectly selfless, is salvation itself for the man within dies, and God alone remains.
