Thank God for giving you this world as a moral gymnasium to help your development, but never imagine you can help the world.
Swami VivekanandaThose who have succeeded in attaching or detaching their minds at will have succeeded in Pratyahara, which means gathering towards, checking the outgoing powers of the mind, freeing it from the thralldom of the senses. When we can do this, we shall really possess character; then alone we shall have taken a long step towards freedom. Before that, we are mere machines.
Swami Vivekananda
