GOD AND RELIGION "In studying books we are sometimes deluded into thinking that thereby we are being spiritually helped; but, we analize the effect of the study of books on ourselves, we shall find that at the utmost, it is only our intellect that derives profit from such studies, and not the inner spirit.  This inadequacy of the book to quicken the spiritual growth is the reason, why although almost every one of us can speak most wonderfully on spiritual matters when it comes to actions and the living of a truly spiritual life, we find ourselves so awfully deficient.  To quicken the spirit, the impulse must come from another soul".                                    -Swami Vivekananda

GOD AND RELIGION     "In worshipping God we have been always worshipping our hidden Self"                                      - Swami  Vivekananda

GOD AND RELIGION "I accept all religions that were in the past, and worship with them all; I worship God with every one of them, in whatever form they worship Him. I shall go to the mosque of the Mohammedan; I shall enter the Christian's church and kneel before the crucifix; where I shall take refuge in Buddha and in his Law; I shall go to the forest and sit down in meditation with the Hindu who is trying to see the light which enlightens the heart of everyone"                                                             -Swami  Vivekananda

LOVE AND UNSELFISHNESS "Where would you go to seek for God; are not all the poor, the miserable, the weak God?  Why not worship them first?  Why go to dig a well on the shores of the Ganga? (River Ganges)"                                                  - Swami Vivekananda

DEAD HEAT: A race to run again between two horses that have 'tied.' A heat is that part of a race run without stopping. Two or more heats make a race.  A dead heat is a heat which goes for nothing; it is dead as if it had never taken place.  At the present day, when two horses reach the winning post simultaneously they are said to dead-heat for the first place and are bracketed winners.
