Shri Ramakrishna use to say, As Long as I Live, so long do I learn. That man or that society which has nothing to learn is already in the jaws of death.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Strength and manliness are virtue weakness and cowardice are sin.
Swami Vivekananda
The greatest sin is to think that you are weak. No one is greater: realize that you are Brahman. Nothing has power except what you give it.
Swami Vivekananda
Every time you meditate you will keep your growth.
Swami Vivekananda
My faith is in the younger generation, the modern generation. Out of them will come my workers. They will work out the whole problem like lions
Swami Vivekananda
If a piece of burning charcoal be placed on a man’s head, see how he struggles to throw it off. Similar will be the struggle for freedom of those who really understand that they are slaves of nature.
Swami Vivekananda
It is always for greater joy that you give up the lesser. This is practical religion-the attainment of freedom, renunciation. Renounce the lower so that you may get the higher. Renounce! Renounce! Sacrifice! Give up! Not for zero. Not for nothing. But to get the higher.
Swami Vivekananda
In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart.
Swami Vivekananda
Those giants of old, the ancient Rishis, who never walked but strode, of whom if you were to think but for a moment you would shrivel up into a moth, they sir, had time-and you have no time!
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is the one and sole interest of the people of India.
Swami Vivekananda
The difference between God and the devil is in nothing except in unselfishness and selfishness. The devil knows as much as God, is as powerful as God only he has no holiness that makes him a devil. Apply the same idea to the modern world: excess of knowledge and power, without holiness, makes human beings devils.
Swami Vivekananda
Through the grace of the Almighty Power, it is sure to manifest itself in time.
Swami Vivekananda
The vapour becomes snow, then water, then Ganga but when it is vapour, there is no Ganga, and when it is water, we think of no vapour in it. The idea of creation or change is inseparably connected with will. So long as we perceive this world in motion, we have to conceive will behind it.
Swami Vivekananda
So long as you have faith in your Guru, nothing will be able to obstruct your way.
Swami Vivekananda
The attempt to remove evil from the world by killing a thousand evil - doers, only adds to the evil in the world.
Swami Vivekananda
Man cannot always think of matter, however pleasurable it may be.
Swami Vivekananda
From attachment comes longing, and longing breeds anger. From anger comes delusion, and from delusion, confused memory. From confused memory comes the ruin of discrimination and from the ruin of discrimination, a man perishes.
Swami Vivekananda
Man only remains hypnotised with the false idea of an ego. When this ghost is off from us, all dreams vanish, and then it is found that the one Self only exists from the highest Being to a blade of grass.
Swami Vivekananda
The mind is but the subtle part of the body. You must retain great strength in your mind and words.
Swami Vivekananda
May I be born again and again, and suffer thousands of miseries so that I may worship the only God that exists, the only God I believe in, the sum total of all souls-and, above all, my God the wicked, my God the miserable, my God the poor of all races, of all species, is the special object of my worship.
Swami Vivekananda
He who has conquered the internal nature controls the whole universe it becomes his servant.
Swami Vivekananda
