In real meditation you forget the body. You may be cut to pieces and not feel it at all. You feel such pleasure in it. You become so light. This perfect rest we will get in meditation.
Swami Vivekananda

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Delusion will vanish as the light becomes more and more effulgent, load after load of ignorance will vanish, and then will come a time when all else has disappeared and the sun alone shines.
Swami Vivekananda
If the mind is pleased with praise, it will be displeased with blame.
Swami Vivekananda
Never say any man is hopeless, because he only represents a character, a bundle of habits, which can be checked by new and better ones. Character is repeated habits, and repeated habits alone can reform character.
Swami Vivekananda
The difference between God and the devil is in nothing except in unselfishness and selfishness. The devil knows as much as God, is as powerful as God only he has no holiness that makes him a devil. Apply the same idea to the modern world: excess of knowledge and power, without holiness, makes human beings devils.
Swami Vivekananda
Om is the pointed piece and Dhyâna (meditation) is the friction.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is born to conquer nature and not to follow it.
Swami Vivekananda
If you want to have life, you have to die every moment for it. Life and death are only different expressions of the same thing looked at from different standpoints they are the falling and the rising of the same wave, and the two form one whole.
Swami Vivekananda
The Indian mind is first religious, then anything else. So this is to be strengthened.
Swami Vivekananda
All power is His and within His command.
Swami Vivekananda
These births and deaths are changes in nature which we are mistaking for changes in us.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is the product of two forces, action and reaction, which make him think.
Swami Vivekananda
The meditative state is the highest state of existence. So long as there is desire, no real happiness can come. It is only the contemplative, witness-like study of objects that brings to us real enjoyment and happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
It is the nature of the brute to remain where he is (not to progress) it is the nature of man to seek good and avoid evil it is the nature of God to seek neither, but just to be eternally blissful. Let us be God!
Swami Vivekananda
In all our Yogas this renunciation is necessary. This is the stepping-stone and the real centre and the real heart of all spiritual culture - renunciation. This is religion - renunciation.
Swami Vivekananda
If the mind is intensely eager, everything can be accomplished—mountains can be crumbled into atoms.
Swami Vivekananda
Two attempts have been made in the world to found social life: the one was upon religion, and the other was upon social necessity. The one was founded upon spirituality, the other upon materialism the one upon transcendentalism, the other upon realism.
Swami Vivekananda
To me an Indian is one who has got a Vedantic brain which probes deep and soars high an Islamic body that is vibrant and valiant a Buddhistic heart overflowing with compassion and kindness and Christian limbs of service and sacrifice.
Swami Vivekananda
We are the living devils.
Swami Vivekananda
Forget not that thy marriage, thy wealth, thy life are not for sense-pleasure, are not for thy individual personal happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
Man stands in materialism you and I are materialists. Our talking about God and Spirit is good but it is simply the vogue in our society to talk thus: we have learnt it parrot-like and repeat it.
Swami Vivekananda
