Cut the bondage of all worldly affections go beyond laziness and all care as to what becomes of you.
Swami Vivekananda

Because the Soul is not made of matter, since it is spiritual, it cannot obey the laws of matter, it cannot be judged by the laws of matter.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This life is a hard fact work your way through it boldly, though it may be adamantine no matter, the soul is stronger.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A man could be in a throne and have no attachment at all another one could be in rags and have many attachments.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The world has not gone one step beyond idolatry yet.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
What can be my highest idea of forgiveness? Nothing beyond myself. Which of you can jump out of your own bodies? Which of you can jump out of your own minds? Not one of you.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Om is the greatest, meaning the Absolute.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If in this hell of a world one can bring a little joy and peace even for a day into the heart of a single person, that much alone is true this I have learnt after suffering all my life all else is mere moonshine.
