No 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 VivekanandaThe mistake is that we cling to the body when it is the spirit that is really immortal.
Swami VivekanandaPrana is the driving power of the world, and can be seen in every manifestation of life.
Swami VivekanandaIt is good to love God for hope of reward, but it is better to love God for love's sake; and the prayer goes: O Lord, I do not want wealth nor children nor learning. If it be Thy will, I shall go from birth to birth. But grant me this, that I may love thee without the hope of reward 'love' unselfishly for love's sake.
Swami Vivekananda
