The art of life is to live in the present moment and to make that moment as perfect as we can by the realization that we are the instruments and expression of God himself.

About This Quote

The great Yoga master Swami Vivekananda said, “The art of life is to live in the present moment and to make that moment as perfect as we can by the realization that we are the instruments and expression of God himself.” The idea of the “art of life” is very simple. It’s all about living in the present moment, making it perfect, and understanding that you are nothing more than an expression of God. When you really understand this, you begin to experience things on a higher level.
