The past was great no doubt, but I sincerely believe that the future will be more glorious still.
Swami VivekanandaEvery human being has the right to ask the reason, why, and to have his question answered by himself, if he only takes the trouble.
Swami VivekanandaThose who have succeeded in attaching or detaching their minds at will have succeeded in Pratyahara, which means gathering towards, checking the outgoing powers of the mind, freeing it from the thralldom of the senses. When we can do this, we shall really possess character; then alone we shall have taken a long step towards freedom. Before that, we are mere machines.
Swami Vivekananda
