Heart, Joy, Suffering

Swami Vivekananda (2016). “Vivekananda Reader”, p.205, Advaita Ashrama (A publication branch of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math)

Who shall blame whom, who praise whom? Whom to seek, whom to avoid? I seek none, nor avoid any, for I am all the universe. I praise myself, I blame myself, I suffer for myself, I am happy at my own will, I am free. This is the Jnâni, the brave and daring. Let the whole universe tumble down; he smiles and says it never existed, it was all a hallucination. He sees the universe tumble down. Where was it! Where has it gone!

Brave, Suffering, Gone
