A Sannyasin cannot belong to any religion, for his is a life of independent thought, which draws from all religions; his is a life of realisation, not merely of theory or belief, much less of dogma.
Swami VivekanandaThe will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free.
Swami VivekanandaNever say, โNoโ, never say, โI cannotโ, for you are infinite. Even time and space are as nothing compared with your nature. You can do anything and everything, you are almighty
Swami VivekanandaGet rid of the bondage of body; we have become slaves to it and learnt to hug our chains and love our slavery; so much so that we long to perpetuate it, and go on with "body" "body" for ever. Do not cling to the idea of "body", do not look for a future existence in any way like this one; do not love or want the body, even of those dear to us.
Swami Vivekananda
