Today's Vivekananda Quote

The bhakti-scriptures mention five different kinds of relationships, through any of which one can attain God. But another kind of relationship can also be added to them, viz. the relationship of oneness with God, which is attained through the path of meditation on the non-separateness from God. Thus even the nondualists can be called bhaktas, but of the non-differentiating type.

Today's Vivekananda Quote

 

The Sanskrit name for a student, brahmacārin, is synonymous with the Sanskrit word kāmajit, "one who has conquered lust." Our goal of life is mokṣa, spiritual freedom. How can that be ever attained without brahmacarya, or absolute continence? Hence it is imposed upon our youth as an indispensable condition during their studentship.

 

From "The East and the West," originally written in Bengali. Complete Works, 5. 514.
