Always discriminate-your body, your house, the people and the world are all absolutely unreal like a dream. Always think that the body is only an inert instrument. And the Atman within is your real nature.
Swami VivekanandaSlavery is slavery. The chain of gold is quite as bad as the chain of iron. Is there a way out?
Swami VivekanandaLearning and wisdom are superfluities, the surface glitter merely, but it is the heart that is the seat of all power.
Swami VivekanandaPay particular attention to your health, but too much coddling of the body will, on the contrary, also spoil the health.
Swami VivekanandaCalm and silent and steady work, and no newspaper humbug, no name-making, you must always remember.
Swami VivekanandaWhen I Asked God for Strength He Gave Me Difficult Situations to Face When I Asked God for Brain & Brawn He Gave Me Puzzles in Life to Solve When I Asked God for Happiness He Showed Me Some Unhappy People When I Asked God for Wealth He Showed Me How to Work Hard When I Asked God for Favors He Showed Me Opportunities to Work Hard When I Asked God for Peace He Showed Me How to Help Others God Gave Me Nothing I Wanted He Gave Me Everything I Needed.
Swami Vivekananda
