Each atom is trying to fly off from its centre. In the internal world, each thought is trying to go beyond control. Again each particle in the external world is checked by another force, the centripetal, and drawn towards the centre. Similarly in the thought - world the controlling power is checking all these outgoing desires.
Swami VivekanandaThe attempt is to kill the false "I", so that the real "I", the Lord, will reign. "I the Lord thy God am a jealous God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me," say the Hebrew scriptures.
Swami VivekanandaI am responsible for my fate, I am the bringer of good unto myself, I am the bringer of evil. I am the Pure and Blessed One. We must reject all thoughts that assert to the contrary.
Swami VivekanandaArt must be in touch with nature - and wherever that touch is gone, Art degenerates - yet it must be above nature.
Swami VivekanandaThe Bhakta (devotee) renounces all little loves for the almighty and omnipresent love.
