More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
To me an Indian is one who has got a Vedantic brain which probes deep and soars high an Islamic body that is vibrant and valiant a Buddhistic heart overflowing with compassion and kindness and Christian limbs of service and sacrifice.
Swami Vivekananda
The Kingdom of Heaven is within us. God is within us. He is the Soul of our souls. See Him in your own soul. That is practical religion. That is freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
It is a good discipline to be forced to work for work's sake, even to the length of not being allowed to enjoy the fruits of one's labour.
Swami Vivekananda
Purity, perseverance, and energy- these three I want.
Swami Vivekananda
Where no bondage is, there is no cause and effect.
Swami Vivekananda
Ordinary love is mere animal attraction. Otherwise why is the distinction between the sexes? If one kneels before an image, it is dreadful idolatry but if one kneels before husband or wife, it is quite permissible!
Swami Vivekananda
Principles must conquer in the long run, for that is the manhood of man.
Swami Vivekananda
Cowardice is no virtue.
Swami Vivekananda
You are the Children of God, the sharers of immortal bliss, holy and perfect beings. You divinities on earth. Come up, O lions, and shake off the delusion that you are sheep you are souls immortal, spirits free, blest and eternal you are not matter, you are not bodies matter is your servant,not you the servant of matter.
Swami Vivekananda
Karma is the eternal assertion of human freedom. . . . Our thoughts, our words, and deeds are the threads of the net which we throw around ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
If you think that you are bound, you remain bound you make your own bondage. If you know that you are free, you are free this moment. This is knowledge, knowledge of freedom. Freedom is the goal of all nature.
Swami Vivekananda
Every individual has in himself perfection. It lies within the dark recesses of his physical being.
Swami Vivekananda
Evil company is always to be shunned because it leads to lust and anger, illusion, forgetfulness of the goal, destruction of the will (lack of perseverance), and destruction of everything. (Narada Bhakti Sutra)
Swami Vivekananda
The moment you fear, you are nobody.
Swami Vivekananda
If superstition enters, the brain is gone.
Swami Vivekananda
In India, religious life forms the centre, the keynote of the whole music of national life.
Swami Vivekananda
Delusion will vanish as the light becomes more and more effulgent, load after load of ignorance will vanish, and then will come a time when all else has disappeared and the sun alone shines.
Swami Vivekananda
This body is a combination. It is only a fiction to say that I have one body, you another, and the sun another.
Swami Vivekananda
The Absolute can never be thought of.
Swami Vivekananda
It is faith that makes a lion of a man.
Swami Vivekananda
