If you dare declare that you are free, free you are this moment. If you say you are bound, bound you will remain.
Swami VivekanandaThough an atom is invisible, unthinkable, yet in it are the whole power and potency of the universe.
Swami VivekanandaGet away from all books and forms and let your soul see its Self. "We are deluded and maddened by books", Shri Krishna declares.
Swami VivekanandaSome people are so afraid of losing their individuality. Wouldn't it be better for the pig to lose his pig-individuality if he can become God? Yes. But the poor pig does not think so at the time. Which state is my individuality? When I was a baby sprawling on the floor trying to swallow my thumb? Was that the individuality I should be sorry to lose? Fifty years hence I shall look upon this present state and laugh, just as I now look upon the baby state. Which of these individualities shall I keep?
Swami Vivekananda
