The Buddha is not a person but a (state of) realization to which anyone can attain.
Swami VivekanandaFill the brain with high thoughts, highest ideals, place them day and night before you, and out of that will come great work.
Swami VivekanandaFrom Him are all name and form; all the animals and men are from Him. He is the one Supreme. He who knows Him becomes free.
Swami VivekanandaThe help which tends to make us spiritually strong is the highest help, next to it comes intellectual help and after that comes physical help.
Swami VivekanandaA golden chain is as much a chain as an iron one. Shri Ramakrishna used to say that, to pick out one thorn which has stuck into the foot, another thorn is requisitioned, and when the thorn is taken out, both are thrown away. So the bad tendencies are to be counteracted by the good ones, but after that, the good tendencies have also to be conquered.
Swami Vivekananda
