Fool indeed is he, who, living on the banks of the Ganga, digs a little well for water. Fool indeed is the man who, coming to a mine of diamonds, begins to search for glass beads.

Men, Glasses, Water

The body is only a tool of the mind. What the mind dictates the body will have to obey. Now I do not even think of water. I do not miss it at all.... I see I can do anything.

Thinking, Water, Missing

Each nation has a main current in life; in India it is religion. Make it strong and the waters on either side must move along with it.

Swami Vivekananda

Strong, Moving, Water

Swami Vivekananda (2015). “The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda”, p.1767, Manonmani Publishers

Adjust the microcosm (which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you. It is like the hydrostatic paradox, one drop of water can balance the universe.

Swami Vivekananda

Water, Balance, Holiness

Swami Vivekananda (2015). “Personality Development”, p.28, Advaita Ashrama

As the different streams, having their sources in different places, all mingle their water in the sea; O Lord, so the different paths which men take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee.

Swami Vivekananda

Sea, Water, Different

"Pathways to Joy: The Master Vivekananda on the Four Yoga Paths to God".

Patanjali, declares that the true secret of evolution is the manifestation of the perfection which is already in every being; that this perfection has been barred and the infinite tide behind is struggling to express itself. These struggles and competitions are but the results of our ignorance, because we do not know the proper way to unlock the gate and let the water in. This infinite tide behind must express itself; it is the cause of all manifestation.

Swami Vivekananda

Struggle, Ignorance, Water
