The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
Quotations
Swami Vivekananda
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
Was there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book?
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.
The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will. “I will drink the ocean”, says the persevering soul; “at my will mountains will crumble up”.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
