“Lastly, I would address one general admonition to all: that they consider what are the true ends of knowledge, and that they seek it not either for pleasure of the mind, or for contention, or for superiority to others, or for profit, or fame, or power, or any of these inferior things: but for the benefit and use of life; and that they perfect and govern it in charity.” MindEndsUsePerfectPleasureKnowledgeFameBenefitsCharityProfitAddressesInferiorsSuperiorityContentionAdmonition Book:Selected Philosophical Works Source: Selected Philosophical Works
“I want to make the most out of the word ‘fame.’ I want to do good things with my fame, or whatever it is. I want to help and do charity work. There’s something going on in Chile right now with the water, so I think I’m going to down there in a month to help out. My grandfather worked with charities his whole entire life, and we grew up living with him. He always told me about the other side of the world and everything that’s going on.” ThinkingWorldWantWholeHelpingSidesWaterGrewMonthsRight NowFameGrew UpGood ThingsCharityGrandfatherMy GrandfatherChileCharity Work Author:Ali Lohan

“If we lived in a state where virtue was profitable, common sense would make us saintly.

“What is meant by charity? Charity is not fundamental. It is really helping on the misery of the world, not eradicating it. One looks for name and fame and covers his efforts to obtain them with the enamel of charity and good works. He is working for himself under the pretext of working for others. Every so-called charity is an encouragement of the very evil it claims to operate against.” WorldLooksHelpingEvilNamesEffortFameClaimsEncouragementFundamentalsMiseryCharityGood WorkPretext Book:The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda
