Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be; if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.
Swami VivekanandaIf you want to be a yogi, you must be free, and place yourself in circumstances where you are alone and free from all anxiety. One who desires a comfortable and nice life and at the same time wants to realize the Self is like the fool who, wanting to cross the river, caught hold of a crocodile, mistaking it for a log of wood.
Swami VivekanandaOur supreme duty is to advance toward freedom - physical, mental, and spiritual - and help others to do so.
Swami Vivekananda
