{PBJFlorida} Quote from Swami Vivekananda

What Swami Vivekananda said:

 

“We are like silkworms; we make the thread of our own substance and spin the cocoon, and in course of time are imprisoned inside. But this is not forever. In that cocoon we shall develop spiritual realization, and like the butterfly, come out free. This network of ‘Karma’ we have woven around ourselves; and in our ignorance we feel as if we are bound and weep and wail for help. But help does not come from without; it comes from within ourselves.”

 

“There is no other way to indicate the glory and the liberty of the human soul and to reconcile the inequalities and the horrors of this world than by placing the whole burden on the legitimate cause – our own independent actions, or Karma.”

 

with high regards,

Abhinav Dwivedi
