More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
The ego of man and woman is the soul. If the soul is independent, how then can it be isolated from the infinite whole?
Swami Vivekananda
Seeing a cat loving her kittens stand and pray. God has become manifest there literally believe this. Repeat I am Thine, I am Thine, for we can see God everywhere. Do not seek for Him, just see Him.
Swami Vivekananda
Change is always subjective. To talk of evil and misery is nonsense, because they do not exist outside. If I am immune from all anger, I never feel angry. If am immune from all hatred, I never feel hatred.
Swami Vivekananda
Nature grinds all of us. Keep count of the ounce of pleasure you get. In the long run, nature did her work through you, and when you die your body will make other plants grow. Yet we think all the time that we are getting pleasure ourselves. Thus the wheel goes round.
Swami Vivekananda
We first observe facts, then generalise, and then draw conclusions or principles.
Swami Vivekananda
Morality is the struggle of the bound will to get free and is the proof that we have come from perfection. . . .
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
All is the Self or Brahman. The saint, the sinner, the lamb, the tiger, even the murderer, as far as they have any reality, can be nothing else, because there is nothing else.
Swami Vivekananda
Give me few men and women who are pure and selfless and I shall shake the world.
Swami Vivekananda
This rascal ego must be obliterated.
Swami Vivekananda
He whose book of the heart has been opened needs no other books.
Swami Vivekananda
Philosophy insists that there is a joy which is absolute, which never changes.
Swami Vivekananda
That which is selfish is immoral, and that which is unselfish is moral.
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
Form and formless are intertwined in this world. The formless can only be expressed in form and form can only be thought with the formless.
Swami Vivekananda
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
Man is the product of two forces, action and reaction, which make him think.
Swami Vivekananda
I do not believe in eternal progress, that we are growing on ever and ever in a straight line. It is too nonsensical to believe. There is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle. The force sent out will complete the circle and return to its starting place.
Swami Vivekananda
Turn thy gaze inward, wherein resides the Supreme Self.
Swami Vivekananda
No one is ever really taught by another each of us has to teach himself. The external teacher offers only the suggestion, which arouses the internal teacher, who helps us to understand things.
