The greatest sin is to think yourself weak
Swami Vivekananda
Image
He who always thinks himself as weak will never become strong, but he who knows himself to be a lion, rushes out from the worlds meshes, as a lion from its cage.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
So long as the millions live in hunger and ignorance, I hold every man a traitor who, having been educated at their expense, pays not the least heed to them.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A brave, frank, clean-hearted, courageous and aspiring youth is the only foundation on which the future nation can be built.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Never turn back to see the result of what you have done. Give all to the Lord and go on, and think not of it.
Swami Vivekananda

Religion in India culminates in freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Let people say whatever they like, stick to your own convictions, and rest assured, the world will be at your feet. They say, Have faith in this fellow or that fellow, but I say, Have faith in yourself first, that's the way. Have faith in yourself-all power is in you-be conscious and bring it out. Say, I can do everything.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
. . . If you are really my children, you will fear nothing, stop at nothing. You will be like lions. We must rouse India and the whole world. No cowardice.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Do not wait for anybody or anything. Do whatever you can. Build your hope on none.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Realize your true nature. That is all there is to do. Know yourself as you are - infinite Spirit. That is practical religion. Everything else is impractical, for everything else will perish.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Matter is motion outside, mind is motion inside.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I do not care what philosophy you take up only I am ready to prove here that throughout the whole of India, there runs a mutual and cordial string of eternal faith in the perfection of humanity, and I believe in it myself. And let that faith be spread over the whole land.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Many of us do not believe in any form of idolatry but they have no right to object when others do it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all good things will be added unto you. Follow God and you shall have whatever you desire.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man always is perfect, or he never could become so but he had to realise it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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
Image
Whenever two particles come together, they are held by a certain attraction and there will come a time when those particles will separate. This is the eternal law. So, wherever there is a body - either grosser or finer, either in heaven or on earth - death will overcome it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If you really want the good of others, the whole universe may stand against you and cannot hurt you. It must crumble before your power of the Lord Himself in you if you are sincere and really unselfish.
Swami Vivekananda
