To be unselfish, perfectly selfless, is salvation itself; for the man within dies, and God alone remains.
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 VivekanandaThis is the only way to reach the goal, to tell ourselves, and to tell everybody else, that we are divine. And as we go on repeating this, strength comes. He who falters at first will get stronger and stronger, and the voice will increase in volume until the truth takes possession of our hearts, and courses through our veins, and permeates our bodies.
Swami Vivekananda
