"Hold to the idea, "I am not..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“I have long given up the idea of a little house on the Ganges, as I have not the money.”

“If you are pure, if you are strong, you, one man are equal to the whole world.”

“In the English character, the "give and take" policy, the business principle of the trader, is principally inherent.”

“Waking up to who you are requires letting go of who you imagine yourself to be”

“What makes you weep, my friend? In you is all power. Summon up your all-powerful nature, O mighty one, and this whole universe will lie at your feet. It is the Self alone that predominates, and not matter.”

“When we suddenly awake to the realization that there is no barrier, and never has been, one realizes that one is all things mountains, rivers, grasses, trees, sun, moon, stars, universe are all oneself. There is no longer a division or barrier between myself and others, no longer any feeling of alienation or fear there is nothing apart from oneself and therefore nothing to fear. Realizing this results in true compassion. Other people and things are not seen as apart from oneself but, on the contrary, as one's own body.”

“The garden of the world has no limits, except in your mind.”

“A man sees only what concerns him.... How much more, then, it requires different intentions of the eye and of the mind to attend to different departments of knowledge! How differently the poet and the naturalist look at objects!”

“Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.”
