More From Swami Vivekananda
- "The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them."
- "As different streams having different sources all mingle their waters in the sea, so different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to God."
- "Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success."
More In Faith
- "Faith is the ticket to the feast, not the feast."― Edwin Louis Cole
- "The power of faith will often shine forth the most when the character is naturally weak."― Augustus Hare
- "Today we often think that before we start living a religious life we have first to accept the creedal doctrines and that before one can have any comprehension of the loyalty and trust of faith, one must first force one’s mind to accept a host of incomprehensible doctrines. But this is to put the cart before the horse."― Karen Armstrong
