[The seers call him wise] whose every attempt is free, without any desire for gain, without any selfishness.
Swami VivekanandaWork done for the Self gives no bondage. Neither desire pleasure nor fear pain from work. It is the mind and body that work, not I. Tell yourself this unceasingly and realise it. Try not to know that you work.
Swami VivekanandaI remember that grand word of the Katha Upanishad - Shraddhรข or marvellous faith. An instance of Shraddha can be found in the life of Nachiketรข. To preach the doctrine of Shraddha or genuine faith is the mission of my life. Let me repeat to you that this faith is one of the potent factors of humanity and of all religions. First, have faith in yourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
