The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful. - Swami Vivekananda

The whole universe is only the self with variations, one tune made bearable by variations. Sometimes there are discords, but they only make the subsequent harmony more perfect.

Stand as a rock; you are indestructible. You are the Self (atman), the God of the universe.

It is the coward and the fool who says, This is my fate – so says the Sanskrit proverb. But it is the strong man who stands up and says, I will make my own fate. It is people who are getting old who talk of fate. Young men generally do not come to astrology.
