Swami Vivekananda
1206 citations

We are all the time, from our childhood, trying to lay the blame upon something outside ourselves. We are always standing up to set right other people, and not ourselves. If we are miserable, we say, Oh, the world is a devil's world. We curse others and say, What infatuated fools! But why should we be in such a world, if we really are so good? If this is a devil's world, we must be devils also; why else should we be here? Oh, the people of the world are so selfish! True enough; but why should we be found in that company, if we be better? Just think of that. ✨ Swami Vivekananda (2015). The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, p.480, Manonmani Publishers
