The Jivanmukta ('the living free' or one who knows) alone is able to give real love, real charity, real truth, and it is truth alone that makes us free.
Swami VivekanandaThe mind is but the subtle part of the body. You must retain great strength in your mind and words.
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.
Swami VivekanandaHere lies the secret. Says Patanjali, the father of Yoga, "When a man rejects all the superhuman powers, then he attains to the cloud of virtue." He sees God. He becomes God and helps others to become the same. This is all I have to preach. Doctrines have been expounded enough. There are books by the million. Oh, for an ounce of practice!
Swami Vivekananda
