Helping others makes us happy. It is not what we do for ourselves that makes us happy, but when we are able to help another and make him happy; and this happiness is much more than what we can get ourselves from our selfish actions. (Swami Vireswarananda)
Truth is revealed in the mirror of the heart when it has been thoroughly cleansed. Prayer and meditation, sacraments and ceremonies, vows and austerities, cannot give us the vision of Truth, they can only help us to remove the coverings of the mind. (Swami Adiswarananda).
What good is this body? Let it go in helping others. Did not the Master preach until the very end? And shall I not do the same? I do not care a straw if the body goes. You cannot imagine how happy I am when I find earnests seekers after truth to talk to. In the work of waking up the Atman in my fellow men, I shall die again and again! (Swami Vivekananda).
He who exploits another man, near or distant, offends God and will pay for it sooner or later. All men are sons of the same God. He who wishes to serve must serve man – and in the first instance, man in the humblest, poorest, most degraded form. Only breaking down the barriers between man and man can one usher in the kingdom of heaven on earth. (Swami Vivekananda).
After so much tapasya, austerity, I have known that the highest truth is this: “He is present in all beings. These are all the manifested forms of Him. There is no other God to seek for! He alone is worshipping God, who serves all beings.” (Swami Vivekananda).
Your duty is to serve the poor and the distressed without distinction of caste and creed. What business have you to consider the fruits of your action? Your duty is to go on working, and everything will set itself right in time, and work by itself. My method of work is to construct and not to destroy that which is already existing. (Swami Vivekananda).
