Not even the deepest sleep will give you such a rest as meditation can. The mind goes on jumping even in deepest sleep. Just those few moments in meditation your brain has almost stopped. ... You forget the body. ... You feel such pleasure in it. You become so light. This perfect rest we will get in meditation.
Swami VivekanandaPerfect life is a contradiction in terms. Therefore we must always expect to find things not up to our highest ideal. Knowing this, we are bound to make the best of everything.
Swami VivekanandaThe greatest help to spiritual life is meditation. In meditation we divest ourselves of all material condition and feel our divine nature.
Swami Vivekananda
