"Wherever there has been expansion in love..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“Realisation of love can never come so long as there is the least desire in the heart, or what Shri Ramakrishna used to say, attachment for Kâma-Kânchana (sense-pleasure and wealth). In the perfect realisation of love, even the consciousness of one's own body does not exist. Also, the supreme Jnana is to realise the oneness everywhere, to see one's own self as the Self in everything. That too cannot come so long as there is the least consciousness of the ego (Aham).”

“A few heart-whole, sincere, and energetic men and women can do more in a year than a mob in a century.”

“When the last moment arrives, praise and blame will be the same to you, to me, and to others. We are here to work, and will have to leave all when the call comes.”

“When you extend your goodwill in every direction, regardless of circumstances, you begin to see that we are all one.”

“Most people don't know how to listen because the major part of their attention is taken up by thinking. They pay more attention to that than to what the other person is saying, and none at all to what really matters: the Being of the other person underneath the words and the mind. Of course, you cannot feel someone else's Being except through your own. This is the beginning of the realization of oneness, which is love. At the deepest level of Being, you are one with all that is.”

“There are many languages in the world; in meaning all are the same. If you break the cups, water will be unified and will flow together.”

“Such is the frailty of man that even where he makes the truest and most forcible impression in the memory, in the heart of his beloved, there also he must perish.”

“Love is merely a madness.”

“Because of a great love, one is courageous.”
