Every idea that strengthens you must be taken up and every thought that weakens you must be rejected.
Swami VivekanandaThe body must be properly taken care of. The people who torture their flesh are demoniacal.
Swami VivekanandaIn countries where there is no marriage, there is no duty between husband and wife; when marriage comes, husband and wife live together on account of attachment; and that kind of living together becomes settled after generations; and when it becomes so settled, it becomes a duty.
Swami VivekanandaThe will is stronger than anything else. Everything must go down before the will, for it comes from God. A pure and strong will is omnipotent.
Swami VivekanandaBooks suggest the inner light and the method of bringing that out, but we can only understand them when we have earned the knowledge ourselves. When the inner light has flashed for you, let the books go, and look only within. You have in you all and a thousand times more than is in all the books. Never lose faith in yourself, you can do anything in this universe. Never weaken, all power is yours.
Swami Vivekananda
