Sacrifice, Self, Law

It is always for greater joy that you give up the lesser. This is practical religion-the attainment of freedom, renunciation. Renounce the lower so that you may get the higher. Renounce! Renounce! Sacrifice! Give up! Not for zero. Not for nothing. But to get the higher.

Swami Vivekananda

Zero, Giving Up, Sacrifice

Swami Vivekananda “Lectures Vol. 4”, Jazzybee Verlag

Work, my children, work with your whole heart and soul! That is the thing. Mind not the fruit of work. What if you go to hell working for others? That is worth more than to gain heaven by seeking your own salvation... Sri Ramakrishna came and gave his life for the world. I will also sacrifice my life.

Swami Vivekananda

Children, Heart, Sacrifice

Nothing is gained except by sacrifice.... Do not degrade it to the level of the brutes.... Make yourselves decent men! ... Be chaste and pure! ... There is no other way. Did Christ find any other way?

Swami Vivekananda

Jesus, Sacrifice, Men

Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.473, Manonmani Publishers

Then from the world all spirituality will be extinct, all moral perfection will be extinct, all sweet-souled sympathy for religion will be extinct, all ideality will be extinct; and in its place will reign the duality of lust and luxury as the male and female deities, with money as its priest, fraud, force, and competition its ceremonies, and the human soul its sacrifice. Such a thing can never be.

Swami Vivekananda

Sweet, Sacrifice, Luxury
