All the strength and succour you want is within yourselves. Therefore make your own future. "Let the dead past bury its dead." The infinite future is before you.
Swami VivekanandaYou have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
Swami VivekanandaAs soon as extreme attachment comes, a man loses himself, he is no more master of himself, he is a slave.
Swami VivekanandaEach soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic control, or philosophy - by one, or more, or all of these - and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details.
Swami Vivekananda
