They alone live, who live for others.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
How can there be any progress of the country without the spread of education, the dawning of knowledge?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Say to your own minds, I am He, I am He. Let it ring day and night in your minds like a song, and at the point of death declare : I am He. That is truth the infinite strength of the world is yours.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is but one temple - the body. It is the only temple that ever existed.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Om is the pointed piece and Dhyâna (meditation) is the friction.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Is there any sex-distinction in the Atman (Self)? Out with the differentiation between man and woman—all is Atman! Give up the identification with the body, and stand up!
Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
Image
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

Our best work is done, our greatest influence is exerted, when we are without thought of self.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
He who is alone is happy. Do good to all, like everyone, but do not love anyone. It is a bondage, and bondage brings only misery. Live alone in your mind - that is happiness. To have nobody to care for and never minding who cares for one is the way to be free.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The disciple must have great power of endurance. Bear all evil and misery without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or retaliation. That is true endurance, and that you must acquire.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If in this hell of a world one can bring a little joy and peace even for a day into the heart of a single person, that much alone is true this I have learnt after suffering all my life all else is mere moonshine.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I am neither man nor angel. I have no sex nor limit. I am knowledge itself. I am He. I have neither anger nor hatred. I have neither pain nor pleasure. Death or birth I never had. For I am Knowledge Absolute, and Bliss Absolute. I am He, my soul, I am He!
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Love for yourselves means [in the end] love for everything.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Each nation has a theme: everything else is secondary. India's theme is religion.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We are all born cowards.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man's free agency is not of the mind, for that is bound. There is no freedom there.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Know it for certain that without steady devotion for the Guru and unflinching patience and perseverance, nothing is to be achieved. You must have strict morality.
