Even the lowest of the Hindus, the Pariah, has less of the brute in him than a Briton in a similar social status.
Swami VivekanandaWhen we free ourselves from name and form, especially from a body - when we need no body, good or bad - then only do we escape from bondage. Eternal progression is eternal bondage; annihilation of form is to be preferred. We must get free from any body, even a "god-body". God is the only real existence, there cannot be two. There is but One Soul, and I am That.
Swami VivekanandaThe ego of man and woman is the soul. If the soul is independent, how then can it be isolated from the infinite whole?
Swami VivekanandaThen from the world all spirituality will be extinct, all moral perfection will be extinct, all sweet-souled sympathy for religion will be extinct, all ideality will be extinct; and in its place will reign the duality of lust and luxury as the male and female deities, with money as its priest, fraud, force, and competition its ceremonies, and the human soul its sacrifice. Such a thing can never be.
Swami Vivekananda
