FROM VIVEKANANDA

Look not for truth in any religion; it is here in the human soul, the miracle of all miracles--in the human soul, the emporium of all knowledge, the mine of all existence--seek here.  (The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda:  Volume 1, page 355)

Do not identify yourself with anything.  Hold your mind free.  All this that you see, the pains and miseries, are but the necessary conditions of this world; poverty and wealth and happiness are but momentary; they do not belong to our real nature at all.  (CW:  Volume 1, page 100)

Get away from all books and forms and let your soul see itself.  (CW:  Volume 6, page 82)

Hear day and night that you are that Soul.  Repeat it to yourself day and night until it enters into your very veins, until it tingles in every drop of blood, until it is in your flesh and bone.  (CW:  Volume 2, page 302)

Man should hunger for one thing alone, the spirit, because spirit alone exists.  (CW:  Volume 8, page 119)

You must take your mind off of lust and lucre (monetary profit), must discriminate always between the real and unreal--must settle down into the mood of bodilessness, with the brooding thought that you are not this body, and must always have the realization that you are the all-pervading Atman.  (CW:  Volume 6, page 482)

You must end where you begin; and as you began in God, you must go back to God.  (CW:  Volume 4, page 215-216)
