Life without death and happiness without misery are contradiction and neither can be found alone, because each of them is a different manifestation of the same thing.
Swami VivekanandaPresent-day Hinduism and Buddhism were growths from the same branch. Buddhism degenerated, and Shankara lopped it off!
Swami VivekanandaEven books are nurses, medicines are nurses. But we must work to bring about the time when man shall recognise his mastery over his own body. Herbs and medicines have power over us as long as we allow them; when we become strong, these external methods are no more necessary.
