Learning and wisdom are superfluities, the surface glitter merely, but it is the heart that is the seat of all power.
Swami VivekanandaDo you recall the story of the young Yogi in the Mahรขbhรขrata who prided himself on his psychic powers by burning the bodies of a crow and crane by his intense will, produced by anger?
Swami VivekanandaWe are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
Swami VivekanandaHere in this blessed land, the foundation, the backbone, the life-centre is religion and religion alone.
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
