*Today's Vivekananda Quote* "If you believe in the existence of God, you will be reminded of him at every step of your life.” _Selections from the Belur Math Diary. Complete Works, 5. 318._
*Today's Vivekananda Quote* "In whom is the universe, who is in the universe, who is the universe; in whom is the soul, who is in the soul, who is the soul; knowing that Truth--and therefore the universe--as our Self, alone extinguishes all fear, brings an end to misery, and leads to infinite freedom.” _Written by Swami Vivekananda in March 1899, to be included in the prospectus of the Advaita Ashrama at Mayavati in the Himalayas. Complete Works, 5. 435._
*Today's Vivekananda Quote* "Think of God. Let the mind not think of any physical or mental enjoyment, but of God alone. When it tries to think of anything else, give it a good blow, so that it may turn round and think of God. As oil poured from one vessel to another falls in an unbroken line, as chimes coming from a distance fall upon the ear as one continuous sound, so should the mind flow towards God in one continuous stream. "We should impose this practice not only on the mind but also on the senses. Instead of hearing foolish things, we must hear about God. Instead of talking foolish words, we must talk about God. Instead of reading foolish books, we must read good ones which speak of God." _Addresses on Bhakti Yoga: The Preparation (New York: December 16, 1895). Complete Works, 4. 8-9._
*Today's Vivekananda Quote* "It is good and very grand to conquer external nature, but grander still to conquer our internal nature. It is grand and good to know the laws that govern the stars and planets; it is infinitely grander and better to know the laws that govern the passions, the feelings and the will. This conquering of the inner being, understanding the secrets of the subtle workings that are within the human mind, and knowing its wonderful secrets, belong entirely to religion." _Jnana Yoga: “The Necessity of Religion” (London, June 7, 1896). Complete Works, 2. 65._
*Today's Vivekananda Quote* "Religion is not only based upon the experience of ancient times, but that no one can be religious until they have the same perceptions themselves. Yoga is the science which teaches us how to get those perceptions." _From Swamiji’s book “Raja Yoga,” Chapter One, “Introductory.” Complete Works, 1. 127._
*Today's Vivekananda Quote* There is to be found in every religion the manifestation of the struggle towards freedom. It is the groundwork of all morality, of unselfishness, which means getting rid of the idea that we are the same as our little body. When we see someone doing good work, helping others, it means that the person cannot be confined within the limited circle of “me and mine.” _Karma Yoga. New York, 1896. Complete Works, 1. 109._
*Today's Vivekananda Quote* "Give up the identification with the body, and stand up! Say, _Asti Asti_—“Everything is!”--cherish positive thoughts. By dwelling too much upon _Nāsti Nāsti-_-“It is not, it is not”--the whole country is going to ruin!" _Letter to his brother-disciples. Written in Bengali from New York on September 25, 1894. Complete Works, 6. 273._
The first two steps—Hearing and Reflection—help remove some of the obstacles to spiritual freedom, but not all. What is it that remains to be done? How is meditation as nididhyāsana different from the meditation that I do now? Read more: https://vedantasociety.net/blog/spiritual-freedom-step-3
*Today's Vivekananda Quote* "We are human beings only so long as we are struggling to rise above nature, and this nature is both internal and external. Not only does it comprise the laws that govern the particles of matter outside us and in our bodies, but also the more subtle nature within, which is, in fact, the motive power governing the external." _Jnana Yoga: “The Necessity of Religion” (London, June 7, 1896). Complete Works, 2. 64-65._
*Today's Vivekananda Quote* "I shall not rest till I root out this distinction of sex. Is there any sex-distinction in the Atman? Out with the differentiation between man and woman--all is Atman!" _Letter to his brother-disciples. Written in Bengali from New York on September 25, 1894. Complete Works, 6. 272-73._
