Our best work is done, our greatest influence is exerted, when we are without thought of self.
Swami VivekanandaThe more you think of yourself as shining immortal spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free of matter, body, and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
Swami VivekanandaIf the mind is intensely eager, everything can be accomplishedโmountains can be crumbled into atoms.
Swami VivekanandaAll sectarian religions take for granted that all men are equal. This is not warranted by science. There is more difference between minds than between bodies. One fundamental doctrine of Hinduism is that all men are different, there being unity in variety. Even for a drunkard, there are some Mantras-even for a man going to a prostitute!
