Knowledge is inherent in man; no knowledge comes from outside; it is all inside. We say Newton discovered gravitation. Was it sitting anywhere waiting for him? It was in his own mind; the time came and he found it out. All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind. The external world is simply the suggestion, the occasion, which sets you to study your own mind.
Swami VivekanandaWe must plunge heart and soul and body into the work. And until we are ready to sacrifice everything else to one Idea and to one alone, we never, never will see the Light.
Swami VivekanandaWhen you feel gloomy, think what has been done within the last year. How, rising from nothing.
Swami VivekanandaThe natural state of this universe is attraction; and that is surely followed by an ultimate disunion.
Swami Vivekananda
