More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Thought ceases in meditation even the mind's elements are quite quiet. Blood circulation stops. His breath stops, but he is not dead.
Swami Vivekananda
The mistake is that we cling to the body when it is the spirit that is really immortal.
Swami Vivekananda
Internal and external nature, mind and matter, are in time and space, and are bound by the law of causation.
Swami Vivekananda
I am persuaded that a leader is not made in one life. He has to be born for it. For the difficulty is not in organisation and making plans the test, the real test, of the leader, lies in holding widely different people together along the line of their common sympathies. And this can only be done unconsciously, never by trying.
Swami Vivekananda
With eternal faith in Him, set fire to the mountain of misery that has been heaped upon India for ages - and it shall be burned down.
Swami Vivekananda
Yes, the words of the Mother can be heard as clearly as we hear one another. But one requires a fine nerve to hear Mother's words.
Swami Vivekananda
Through the grace of the Almighty Power, it is sure to manifest itself in time.
Swami Vivekananda
Nothing else is necessary but these - love, sincerity, and patience.
Swami Vivekananda
That which is nearest is least observed. The Atman is the nearest of the near, therefore the careless and the unsteady mind gets no clue to it. But the person who is alert, calm, self-restrained, and discriminating ignores the external world and, diving more and more into the inner world, realizes the glory of the Atman and becomes great.
Swami Vivekananda
Hindus believe in God positively. Buddhism does not try to know whether He is or not.
Swami Vivekananda
All motion in this universe is in the form of waves, successively rising and falling.
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
Well has it been said that man is the only animal that naturally looks upwards every other animal naturally looks down. That looking upward and going upward and seeking perfection are what is called salvation and the sooner a man begins to go higher, the sooner he raises himself towards this idea of truth as salvation.
Swami Vivekananda
Thoughts are living things - they travel far.
Swami Vivekananda
How absurd to take the credit of doing the good act on oneself and lay the blame for the evil act on the Lord!
Swami Vivekananda
Man can think of divine things only in his own human way, to us the Absolute can be expressed only in our relative language.
Swami Vivekananda
Hold to the idea, I am not the mind, I see that I am thinking, I am watching my mind act, and each day the identification of yourself with thoughts and feelings will grow less, until at last you can entirely separate yourself from the mind and actually know it to be apart from yourself.
Swami Vivekananda
The one who actually succeeds in making himself believe that he is having a good time is the man of splendid physical health.
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
The sign of vigour, the sign of life, the sign of hope, the sign of health, the sign of everything that is good, is strength. As long as the body lives, there must be strength in the body, strength in the mind, [and strength] in the hand.
Swami Vivekananda
