First get rid of the delusion "I am the body," then only will we want real knowledge.
Swami VivekanandaEven the least work done for others awakens the power within; even thinking the least good of others gradually instills into the heart the strength of a lion.
Swami VivekanandaMan's free agency is not of the mind, for that is bound. There is no freedom there.
Swami VivekanandaYou must try to combine in your life immense idealism with immense practicality. You must be prepared to go into deep meditation now, and the next moment you must be ready to go and cultivate the fields. You must be prepared to explain the intricacies of the scriptures now, and the next moment to go and sell the produce of the fields in the market....The true man is he who is strong as strength itself and yet possesses a woman's heart.
Swami Vivekananda
