We have to keep the body in good health; we have to take care of what we eat and drink, and what we do.
Swami VivekanandaIf you dare declare that you are free, free you are this moment. If you say you are bound, bound you will remain.
Swami VivekanandaLife is called Samsara - it is the result of the conflicting forces acting upon us. Materialism says, "The voice of freedom is a delusion." Idealism says, "The voice that tells of bondage is but a dream." Vedanta says, "We are free and not free at the same time." That means that we are never free on the earthly plane, but ever free on the spiritual side. The Self is beyond both freedom and bondage. We are Brahman, we are immortal knowledge beyond the senses, we are Bliss Absolute.
Swami Vivekananda
