If a piece of burning charcoal be placed on a manโs head, see how he struggles to throw it off. Similar will be the struggle for freedom of those who really understand that they are slaves of nature.
Swami VivekanandaKnowledge can only be got in one way, the way of experience; there is no other way to know.
Swami VivekanandaOne way for attaining Bhakti is by repeating the name of God a number of times. Mantras have effect: the mere repetition of words.... To obtain Bhakti, seek the company of holy men who have Bhakti, and read books like the Gita and the Imitation of Christ; always think of the attributes of God.
