Work done for the Self gives no bondage. Neither desire pleasure nor fear pain from work. It is the mind and body that work, not I. Tell yourself this unceasingly and realise it. Try not to know that you work.
Swami VivekanandaThe glory of man is that he is a thinking being. It is the nature of man to think and therein he differs from animals
Swami VivekanandaBoth the forces of good and evil will keep the universe alive for us, until we awake from our dreams and give up this building of mud pies.
Swami VivekanandaThere is another way in which this idea of mercy and selfless charity can be put into practice; that is, by looking upon work as "worship" in case we believe in a Personal God. Here we give up all the fruits our work unto the Lord, and worshipping Him thus, we have no right to expect anything from man kind for the work we do.
Swami Vivekananda
