The man who becomes angry never does a great amount of work, and the man whom nothing can make angry accomplishes so much.
Swami VivekanandaWhenever two particles come together, they are held by a certain attraction; and there will come a time when those particles will separate. This is the eternal law. So, wherever there is a body - either grosser or finer, either in heaven or on earth - death will overcome it.
Swami VivekanandaAnything that brings spiritual, mental, or physical weakness, touch it not with the toes of your feet.
Swami VivekanandaHold to the idea, "I am not the mind, I see that I am thinking, I am watching my mind act," and each day the identification of yourself with thoughts and feelings will grow less, until at last you can entirely separate yourself from the mind and actually know it to be apart from yourself.
Swami VivekanandaPrana is the driving power of the world, and can be seen in every manifestation of life.
Swami VivekanandaDo not stand on a high pedestal and take 5 cents in your hand and say, here, my poor man, but be grateful that the poor man is there, so by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself.It is not the reciever that is blessed, but it is the giver.Be thankful that you are allowed to exercise your power of benevolence and mercy in the world, and thus become pure and perfect.
Swami Vivekananda
