The meditative state is the highest state of existence. So long as there is desire, no real happiness can come. It is only the contemplative, witness-like study of objects that brings to us real enjoyment and happiness.
Swami VivekanandaThe test of having ceased to be an idolater is: "When you say 'I', does the body come into your thought or not? If it does, then you are still a worshipper of idols."
Swami VivekanandaCharity is great, but the moment you say it is all, you run the risk of running into materialism.
Swami Vivekananda
