Direct Quotations from Swami Vivekananda;
"Religion is not in books, nor in theories, nor in dogmas, nor in talking, not even in reasoning. It is being and becoming."
"Infinite power and existence and blessedness are ours, and we have not to acquire them; they are our own, and we have only to manifest them."
"Be an atheist if you want, but do not believe in anything unquestioningly."
"I do not believe in a God or religion which cannot wipe the widow's tears or bring a piece of bread to the orphan's mouth."
"In judging others we always judge them by our own ideals. That is not as it should be. Everyone must be judged according to his own ideal, and not by that of anyone else."
"He who has no faith in himself can never have faith in God."
"The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful. When a man is gloomy, that may be dyspepsia, but it is not religion."
"The living God is within you."
"Manifest the divinity within you and everything will be harmoniously arranged around it."
"He alone is worshiping God who serves all beings."
