The Vedanta recognizes no sin it only recognizes error. And the greatest error, says the Vedanta is to say that you are weak, that you are a sinner, a miserable creature, and that you have no power and you cannot do this and that.

He who struggles is better than he who never attempts
Swami Vivekananda
In a difficulty in the company of the central and the instigator, be successful your central.
Swami Vivekananda
If there be no eternal life, still the enjoyment of spiritual thoughts as ideals is keener and makes a man happier, whilst the foolery of materialism leads to competition and undue ambition and ultimate death, individual and national.
Swami Vivekananda
If I, as an Oriental have to worship Jesus of Nazareth, there is only one way, that is, to worship him as God and nothing else.
Swami Vivekananda
Buddha taught kindness towards lower beings and since then there has not been a sect in India that has not taught charity to all beings, even to animals. This kindness, this mercy, this charity - greater than any doctrine - are what Buddhism left to us.
Swami Vivekananda
TO worship God even for the sake of salvation or any other reward is equally degenerate. Love knows no reward. Give your love unto to God, but do not ask anything in return even from Him through pray.
Swami Vivekananda
India is immortal if she persists in her search for God. But if she goes in for politics and social conflict, she will die.
Swami Vivekananda
This Maya is everywhere. It is terrible. Yet we have to work through it. The man who says that he will work when the world has become all good and then he will enjoy bliss is as likely to succeed as the man who sits beside the Ganga and says, I will ford the river when all the water has run into the ocean.
Swami Vivekananda
None of us have yet seen an ideally perfect man, and yet without that ideal we cannot progress.
Swami Vivekananda
The ego of man and woman is the soul. If the soul is independent, how then can it be isolated from the infinite whole?
Swami Vivekananda
We are the living devils.
Swami Vivekananda
You must all pay attention to your health first.
Swami Vivekananda
How do you know what possibilities lie behind that degradation on the surface? You know but little of that which is within you. For behind you is the ocean of infinite power and blessedness.
Swami Vivekananda
Service to man is service to god
Swami Vivekananda
The atom cannot disobey the law. Whether it is the mental or the physical atom, it must obey the law. What is the use of [external restraint]?
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
Blame neither man, nor God, nor anyone in the world. When you find yourselves suffering, blame yourselves, and try to do better.
Swami Vivekananda
Liberty is the first condition of growth. It is wrong, a thousand times wrong, if any of you dares to say, 'I will work out the salvation of this woman or child.
Swami Vivekananda
There is nothing beyond God, and the sense enjoyments are simply something through which we are passing now in the hope of getting better things.
Swami Vivekananda
Get away from all books and forms and let your soul see its Self. We are deluded and maddened by books, Shri Krishna declares.
