The awakening of the soul to its bondage and its effort to stand up and assert itself – this is called life.

Swami Vivekananda

We, we, and none else, are responsible for what we suffer. We are the effects, and we are the causes.
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

Responsibility Suffering
Learn to feel yourself in other bodies, to know that we are all one. Throw all other nonsense to the winds. Spit out your actions, good or bad, and never think of them again. What is done is done. Throw off superstition. Have no weakness even in the face of death. Be free.

The man who gives way to anger, or hatred, or any other passion, cannot work; he only breaks himself to pieces, and does nothing practical. It is the calm, forgiving, equable, well-balanced mind that does the greatest amount of work.
