More quotes by 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
I love my nation, I cannot see you degraded, weakened any more than you are now. Therefore I am bound for your sake and for truth's to cry, Hold! and to raise my voice against this degradation of my race. Give up these weakening mysticism and be strong.
Swami Vivekananda
Have faith. We will do
Swami Vivekananda
Be a hero. Always say, 'I have no fear.' Tell this to everyone - 'Have no fear.'
Swami Vivekananda
The ground under the Bilva tree is very holy. Meditating here quickly brings about an awakening of the religious instinct. Shri Ramakrishna used to say so.
Swami Vivekananda
We get caught. How? Not by what we give but by what we expect. We get misery in return for our love: not from the fact that we love but from the fact that we want love in return. There is no misery where there is no want. Desire, want, is the father of all misery. Desires are bound by the laws of success and failure. Desires must bring misery.
Swami Vivekananda
Love and charity for the whole human race, that is the test of true religiousness.
Swami Vivekananda
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
Let new India arise out of peasants' cottage, grasping the plough, out of huts, cobbler and sweeper.
Swami Vivekananda
An atheist can be charitable but not religious. But the religious man must be charitable.
Swami Vivekananda
How to transcend the senses without disturbing the health is what we want to learn.
Swami Vivekananda
We have either to progress or to degenerate. Our ancestors did great things in the past, but we have to grow into a fuller life and march beyond even their great achievements.
Swami Vivekananda
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
Be grateful that the poor man is there, so that by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself
Swami Vivekananda
Each man is divine. Each man that you see is a God by his very nature.
Swami Vivekananda
Differentiation is in name and form only.
Swami Vivekananda
Free thyself from the mighty attraction- The maddening wine of love, the charm of sex. Break the harp! Forward, with the ocean's cry!. . .
Swami Vivekananda
The spirit is the cause of all our thoughts and body-action, and everything, but it is untouched by good or evil, pleasure or pain, heat of cold, and all the dualism of nature, although it lends its light to everything.
Swami Vivekananda
The attempt is to kill the false I, so that the real I, the Lord, will reign. I the Lord thy God am a jealous God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me, say the Hebrew scriptures.
Swami Vivekananda
All these disciplines are for the purification of the heart. And as soon as it is pure, all truths flash upon it in a minute all truth in the universe will manifest in your heart, if you are sufficiently pure.
Swami Vivekananda
