Marriage is not for individual happiness, but for the welfare of the nation and the caste.
Swami VivekanandaWe must plunge heart and soul and body into the work. And until we are ready to sacrifice everything else to one Idea and to one alone, we never, never will see the Light.
Swami VivekanandaThe mistake is that we cling to the body when it is the spirit that is really immortal.
Swami VivekanandaWhen we free ourselves from name and form, especially from a body - when we need no body, good or bad - then only do we escape from bondage. Eternal progression is eternal bondage; annihilation of form is to be preferred. We must get free from any body, even a "god-body". God is the only real existence, there cannot be two. There is but One Soul, and I am That.
Swami Vivekananda
