"I do not want to get material life, do not want the sense-life, but something higher." That is renunciation. Then, by the power of meditation, undo the mischief that has been done.
Swami VivekanandaThis is the secret of spiritual life: to think that I am the Atman and not the body, and that the whole of this universe with all its relations, with all its good and all its evil, is but as a series of paintings...scenes on a canvas...of which I am the witness.
Swami VivekanandaAll the forces that are working in this body have been produced out of food; we see that every day.
Swami VivekanandaIf the mind is intensely eager, everything can be accomplished—mountains can be crumbled into atoms.
Swami Vivekananda
