More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
The essence of Vedanta is that there is but one Being and that every soul is that Being in full, not a part of that Being.
Swami Vivekananda
There is but one temple - the body. It is the only temple that ever existed.
Swami Vivekananda
This external worship of images has, however, been described in all our Shastras as the lowest of all the low forms of worship. But that does not mean that it is a wrong thing to do.
Swami Vivekananda
Without birth or death, eternal, ever-existing, free, unchangeable and beyond all conditions is this Soul of man - the real Self of Man - the Atman.
Swami Vivekananda
What is the world that is to be given up? It is here. I am carrying it all with me. My own body. It is all for this body that I put my hand voluntarily upon my fellow human beings, just to keep it nice and give it a little pleasure. It is all for the body that I injure others and make mistakes.
Swami Vivekananda
Even the greatest fool can accomplish a task if it were after his or her heart. But the intelligent ones are those who can convert every work into one that suits their taste.
Swami Vivekananda
Purity, patience and perseverance overcome all obstacles. All great things must of necessity be slow.
Swami Vivekananda
Thought is like a bubble rising to the surface. When thought is joined to will, we call it power. That which strikes the sick person whom you are trying to help is not thought, but power.
Swami Vivekananda
This is a great fact: strength is life weakness is death. Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal weakness is constant strain and misery, weakness is death.
Swami Vivekananda
According to us, there are three things in the makeup of man. There is the body, there is the mind, and there is the soul.
Swami Vivekananda
The Vedas give information on various subjects. They have come together and form one book. And in later times, when other subjects were separated from religion - when astronomy and astrology were taken out of religion - these subjects, being connected with the Vedas and being ancient, were considered very holy.
Swami Vivekananda
The Pariahs, our fellow beings, ought to be educated by the higher castes.
Swami Vivekananda
It is good to love God for hope of reward, but it is better to love God for love's sake and the prayer goes: O Lord, I do not want wealth nor children nor learning. If it be Thy will, I shall go from birth to birth. But grant me this, that I may love thee without the hope of reward 'love' unselfishly for love's sake.
Swami Vivekananda
If the mind is pleased with praise, it will be displeased with blame.
Swami Vivekananda
Renunciation is the background of all religious thought wherever it be, and you will always find that as this idea of renunciation lessens, the more will the senses creep into the field of religion, and spirituality will decrease in the same ratio.
Swami Vivekananda
We are suffering from our own Karma. It is not the fault of God. What we do is our own fault, nothing else. Why should God be blamed?. . .
Swami Vivekananda
Marriage or non-marriage, good or evil, learning or ignorance, any of these is justified, if it leads to the goal.
Swami Vivekananda
God is cruel and not cruel. He is all being and not being at the same time. Hence He is all contradictions. Nature also is nothing but a mass of contradictions.
Swami Vivekananda
No two persons have the same mind or the same body.
Swami Vivekananda
In one sense Brahman is known to every human being he knows, I am but man does not know himself as he is.
Swami Vivekananda
