If the Absolute becomes limited by the mind, It is no more Absolute; It has become finite.
Swami VivekanandaWe shall have to work like lions, keeping the ideal before us, without caring whether "the wise ones praise or blame us".
Swami VivekanandaFrom the high spiritual flights of the Vedanta philosophy, of which the latest discoveries of science seem like echoes, to the low ideas of idolatry with its multifarious mythology, the agnosticism of the Buddhists and the atheism of the Jains, each and all have a place in the Hinduism religion.
Swami VivekanandaWhenever there is a conflict between the pure heart and the intellect, always side with the pure heart.
Swami VivekanandaEach atom is trying to fly off from its centre. In the internal world, each thought is trying to go beyond control. Again each particle in the external world is checked by another force, the centripetal, and drawn towards the centre. Similarly in the thought - world the controlling power is checking all these outgoing desires.
Swami Vivekananda
