“Take up anything that you see or feel, a book for instance; first concentrate the mind on it, then on the knowledge that is in the form of a book, and then on the Ego that sees the book, and so on. By that practice all the organs will be conquered.”
― Swami Vivekananda, Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda

“The organs are the horses, the mind is the rein, the intellect is the charioteer, the soul is the rider, and the body is the chariot. The master of the household, the King, the Self of man, is sitting in this chariot.”
― Swami Vivekananda, Raja-Yoga & Patanjali Yoga-Sutra by Swami Vivekananda

“There is nothing holier in the world than to keep good company, because the good impressions will then tend to come to the surface.”
― Swami Vivekananda, Raja-Yoga & Patanjali Yoga-Sutra by Swami Vivekananda

“We can read all the Vedas, and yet will not realize anything, but when we practice their teachings, then we attain to that state which realizes what the scriptures say, which penetrates where neither reason nor perception nor inference can go, and where the testimony of others cannot avail.”
― Swami Vivekananda, Raja-Yoga & Patanjali Yoga-Sutra by Swami Vivekananda
