Swami Vivekananda Quotes About Mind And Body

• The body and mind are continually changing, and are, in fact, only names of series of changeful phenomena, like rivers whose waters are in a constant state of flux, yet presenting the appearance of unbroken streams. Every particle in this body is continually changing; no one has the same body for many minutes together, and yet we think of it as the same body.

  Swami Vivekananda

  Change, Thinking, Names

• The body and mind are dependent.

  Mind, Body, Dependent

• Work done for the Self gives no bondage. Neither desire pleasure nor fear pain from work. It is the mind and body that work, not I. Tell yourself this unceasingly and realise it. Try not to know that you work.

  Swami Vivekananda

  Pain, Self, Giving

  Swami Vivekananda (1953). “Complete Works”

• If there is no strength in body and mind, the Atman cannot be realized. First you have to build the body by good nutritious food-then only will the mind be strong.

  Swami Vivekananda

  Strong, Mind, Body
