"Thought ceases in meditation; even the mind's..." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“Believe in yourself and the world will be at your feet.”

“What makes a man stand up and work? Strength. Strength is goodness, weakness is sin.”

“What good being object of charity? Give away, ne'er turn to ask in return, Should there be the wealth treasured in thy heart.”

“We must meditate, brothers. These grapes will yield no wine we tread upon it.”

“Listen to the sound of waves within you.”

“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.”

“All perception is colored by emotion.”

“How can we speak of the action of the mind under any divisions, as of its knowledge, of its ethics, of its works, and so forth, since it melts will into perception, knowledge into act? Each becomes the other. Itself alone is.”

“When we look for things there is nothing but mind, and when we look for mind there is nothing but things.”
