Meditation means the mind is turned back upon itself. The mind stops all the thought-waves and the world stops. Your consciousness expands. Every time you meditate you will keep your growth.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
The very idea of an infinite in place would be a contradiction in terms, as a place must begin and continue in time.
Swami Vivekananda
Is it freedom to be a slave to the senses, to anger, to jealousies and a hundred other petty things that must occur every day in human life?
Swami Vivekananda
Slavery is slavery. The chain of gold is quite as bad as the chain of iron. Is there a way out?
Swami Vivekananda
You must also remember that the world has God to govern it, and He has not left it to our charity. The Lord God is its Governor and Maintainer, and in spite of these wine fanatics and cigar fanatics, and all sorts of marriage fanatics, it would go on. If all these persons were to die, it would go on none the worse.
Swami Vivekananda
Avoid all mystery. There is no mystery in religion.
Swami Vivekananda
External nature is only internal nature writ large.

Swami Vivekananda
Society is an organism which obeys the immutable law of progress and change, judicious and cautious change, is necessary for the well being, and indeed the preservation of the social system.
Swami Vivekananda
We do not depend upon any external help in meditation.
Swami Vivekananda
If a piece of burning charcoal be placed on a man’s head, see how he struggles to throw it off. Similar will be the struggle for freedom of those who really understand that they are slaves of nature.
Swami Vivekananda
In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no end to the power a man can obtain.
Swami Vivekananda
No two persons have the same mind or the same body.
Swami Vivekananda
To give up the world is to forget the ego, to know it not at all - living in the body, but not of it.
Swami Vivekananda
This is a great fact: strength is life weakness is death. Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal weakness is constant strain and misery, weakness is death.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is the one and sole interest of the people of India.
Swami Vivekananda
There cannot be friendship without equality.
Swami Vivekananda
