We must always bear in mind that we are not going to be free, but are free already. Every idea that we are bound is a delusion.
Swami VivekanandaCome out into the broad light of day, come out from the little narrow paths, for how can the infinite soul rest content to live and die in small ruts?
Swami VivekanandaIf you can think that infinite power, infinite knowledge and indomitable energy lie within you, and if you can bring out that power, you also can become like me.
Swami VivekanandaWith everything we do in life we identify ourselves. Here is a man who says harsh words to me. I feel anger coming on me. In a few seconds anger and I are one, and then comes misery. Attach yourselves to the Lord and to nothing else, because everything else is unreal. Attachment to the unreal will bring misery. There is only one Existence that is real, only one Life in which there is neither object nor [subject].
Swami Vivekananda
