"He who knows even how to prepare..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“It is the greatest manifestation of power to be calm.”

“It is the patient building of character, the intense struggle to realize the truth, which alone will tell in the future of humanity.”

“Real freedom is not merely doing what you like, but also NOT doing what you like.”

“The poet is the supreme artist, for he is the master of colour and of form, and the real musician besides, and is lord over all life and all arts.”

“The more technique you have, the less you have to worry about it. The more technique there is, the less there is.”

“Good artists copy, great artists steal.”

“To listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present. Even if there is noise, there is always some silence underneath and in between the sounds. Listening to the silence immediately creates stillness inside you.”

“When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.”

“I'm a great supporter of transcendental meditation. I've been using it for almost 40 years now - and I think it's a great tool for anyone to have, to be able to utilize as a tool for stress. Stress, of course, comes with almost every business. I think there are enough studies out there that show that TM is something that could benefit anybody. It's a great system to use. Otherwise, why would I've been doing it for all these years, for almost half of my life?”
