Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.

You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.

The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

The fire that warms us can also consume us; it is not the fault of the fire. The fault lies in us, in our want of control.

The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

Neither numbers nor powers nor wealth nor learning nor eloquence nor anything else will prevail, but purity, living the life, in one word, anubhuti, realization.,Swami Vivekanand
