The Indian idea is that the soul is formless. Whatever is form must break some time or other.
Swami VivekanandaNo one is ever really taught by another; each of us has to teach himself. The external teacher offers only the suggestion, which arouses the internal teacher, who helps us to understand things.
Swami VivekanandaI love my nation, I cannot see you degraded, weakened any more than you are now. Therefore I am bound for your sake and for truth's to cry, "Hold!" and to raise my voice against this degradation of my race. Give up these weakening mysticism and be strong.
Swami VivekanandaLet the mind be cheerful but calm. Never let it run into excesses, because every excess will be followed by a reaction.
Swami Vivekananda
