We cannot see outside what we are not inside. The universe is to us what the huge engine is to the miniature engine; and indication of any error in the tiny engine leads us to imagine trouble in the huge one.
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA -
We must plunge heart and soul and body into the work. And until we are ready to sacrifice everything else to one Idea and to one alone, we never, never will see the Light.

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA -
There is only one Soul in the Universe. There is no ‘you’ or ‘me’; all variety is merged into the absolute unity, the one infinite existence – God.
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA -
He who is alone is happy. Do good to all, like everyone, but do not love anyone. It is a bondage, and bondage brings only misery. Live alone in your mind – that is happiness. To have nobody to care for and never minding who cares for one is the way to be free.
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA -

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA -
Learn to feel yourself in other bodies, to know that we are all one. Throw all other nonsense to the winds. Spit out your actions, good or bad, and never think of them again. What is done is done. Throw off superstition. Have no weakness even in the face of death. Be free.
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA -
The man who becomes angry never does a great amount of work, and the man whom nothing can make angry accomplishes so much.
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA -
Do not desire, for what you desire you get, and with it comes terrible bondage. It is nothing but bringing “noses on us,” as in the case of the man who had three boons to ask. We never get freedom until we are self-contained. “Self is the Saviour of self, none else.”
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA -
There is no end to the power a man can obtain.
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA -
