“By work alone, men may get to where Buddha got largely by meditation or Christ by prayer. Buddha was a working Jnani, Christ was a Bhakta, but the same goal was reached by both of them. Good motives, sincerity, and infinite love can conquer the world. One single soul possessed of these virtues can destroy the dark designs of millions of hypocrites and brutes.” MenWorldMaySoulGoalChristDarkPrayerMillionsVirtueMeditationDesignInfiniteConquerMotiveSincerityPossessedHypocriteBrutesInfinite LoveConquer The WorldAlone Man Author:Swami Vivekananda

“This question of love begins and ends with the willingness to be welcoming to one's own experience as a loving action towards oneself. It may be dark, it may be light, it may be joyous, it may be sorrowful, but it's your experience, and therefore, your life.
