Pratichi Nag

“This universe is the wreckage of the infinite on the shores of the finite.”
― Swami Vivekananda

“After every happiness comes misery; they may be far apart or near. The more advanced the soul, the more quickly does one follow the other. What we want is neither happiness nor misery. Both make us forget our true nature; both are chains--one iron, one gold; behind both is the Atman, who knows neither happiness nor misery. These are states, and states must ever change; but the nature of the Atman is bliss, peace, unchanging. We have not to get it, we have it; only wash away the dross and see it.”
― Swami Vivekananda

“The help which tends to make us spiritually strong is the highest help, next to it comes intellectual help and after that comes physical help.”
― Swami Vivekananda, Karma Yoga: the Yoga of Action

“It is a very hard thing to understand, but you will come to learn in time that nothing in the universe has power over you until you allow it to exercise such a power.”
― Swami Vivekananda, Karma Yoga: The Yoga of action
