The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful. When a man is gloomy, that may be dyspepsia, but it is not religion. Misery is caused by sin, and by no other cause. What business have you with clouded faces? It is terrible. If you have a clouded face, do not go out that day, shut yourself up in your room. What right have you to carry this disease out into the world?
Swami VivekanandaThought ceases in meditation; even the mind's elements are quite quiet. Blood circulation stops. His breath stops, but he is not dead.
Swami VivekanandaDo not fret because the world looks with suspicion at every new attempt, even though it be in the path of spirituality.
Swami VivekanandaManifest the divinity within you and everything will be harmoniously arranged around it.
