Never can a reforming sect survive if it is only reforming; the formative elements alone - the real impulse, that is, the principles - live on and on.
Swami VivekanandaThis craving for health, wealth, long life, and the like - the so - called good - is nothing but an illusion.
Swami VivekanandaThe Buddha is not a person but a (state of) realization to which anyone can attain.
Swami VivekanandaThe powers of the mind should be concentrated and the mind turned back upon itself; as the darkest places reveal their secrets before the penetrating rays of the sun, so will the concentrated mind penetrate its own innermost secrets.
Swami Vivekananda
