We have none of us seen a form which had not a beginning and will not have an end.
Swami VivekanandaNeither seek nor avoid; take what comes. It is liberty to be affected by nothing. Do not merely endure; be unattached.
Swami VivekanandaNever mind failures; they are quite natural, they are the beauty of life, these failures. What would life be without them? It would not be worth having if it were not for struggles. Where would be the poetry of life? Never mind the struggles, the mistakes. I never heard a cow tell a lie, but it is only a cow-never a man. So never mind these failures, these little backslidings; hold the ideal a thousand times, and if you fail a thousand times, make the attempt once more.
Swami VivekanandaTo give up the world is to forget the ego, to know it not at all - living in the body, but not of it.
Swami Vivekananda
