Guest guest Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Teachings of Swami Vivekananda When your mind has become controlled, you have control over the whole body; instead of being a slave to this machine, the machine is your slave. Instead of this machine being able to drag the soul down, it becomes its greatest helpmate. (I. 265) Mind is like a lake, and every thought is like a wave upon that lake. Just as in the lake waves rise, and then fall down and disappear, so these thought-waves are continually rising in the mind-stuff, and then disappearing, but they do not disappear for ever. They become finer and finer, but they are all there, ready to start up at another time, when called upon to do so. (II. 268-69) Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda.
