Was there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book? How dare men call God infinite, and yet try to compress Him within the covers of a little book!

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
All law has its essence in causation.
Swami Vivekananda
We must plunge heart and soul and body into the work. And until we are ready to sacrifice everything else to one Idea and to one alone, we never, never will see the Light.
Swami Vivekananda
Whatsoever has form must be the result of combinations of particles and requires something else behind it to move it.
Swami Vivekananda
We know how often in our lives through laziness and cowardice we give up the battle and try to hypnotise our minds into the belief that we are brave.
Swami Vivekananda
Eka-Nishtha or devotion to one ideal is absolutely necessary for the beginner in the practice of religious devotion.
Swami Vivekananda
Great work requires great and persistent effort for a long time. ... Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles.
Swami Vivekananda
Be moral. Be brave. Be a heart-whole man, strictly moral, brave unto desperation. Don't bother your head with religious theories. Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no virtue higher than non-injury.
Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
If one has got power, one must manifest it in action.
Swami Vivekananda
Truth alone triumphs, not untruth. Through truth alone lies the way to Devayana (the way to the gods). Those who think that a little sugar - coating of untruth helps the spread of truth are mistaken and will find in the long run that a single drop of poison poisons the whole mass ... The man who is pure, and who dares, does all things.
Swami Vivekananda
It is a retarding element creating hatred and anger, and causing people to fight each other, and making them unsympathetic.
Swami Vivekananda
Give up the awful disease that is creeping into our national blood, that idea of ridiculing everything, that loss of seriousness. Give that up. Be strong and have this Shraddha, and everything else is bound to follow.
Swami Vivekananda
In a day, when you don't come across any problems - you can be sure that you are travelling in a wrong path
Swami Vivekananda
It is fear that is the cause of our woes, and it is fearlessness that brings heaven in a moment The earth is enjoyed by heroes - this is the unfailing truth.
Swami Vivekananda
Have faith in your destiny
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.
