Question

All love is expansion & all selfishness is contraction

Answer 1

Answer:

In this article we’ll make a collection of Swami Vivekananda‘s quotes and comment on selfishness.

All love is life, it is the only law of life; all selfishness is death, and this is true here or hereafter. It is life to do good, it is death not to do good to others.[Source]

All narrowness, all contraction, all selfishness is simply slow suicide, and when a nation commits the fatal mistake of contracting itself and of thus cutting off all expansion and life, it must die.[Source]

Be steady. Avoid jealousy and selfishness.[Source]

Beware! All expansion is life, all contraction is death. All love is expansions all selfishness is contraction.[Source]

Do not project that tentacle of selfishness, “I must possess it”. As soon as that is projected, misery will begin.[Source]

Even misery can be enjoyed when there is no selfishness, when we have become the witness of our own lives.[Source]

Every act of selfishness or thought of selfishness makes us attached to something, and immediately we are made slaves.[Source]
