Swami Vivekananda
Image
Through the grace of the Almighty Power, it is sure to manifest itself in time.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
My child, what I want is muscles of iron and nerves of steel, inside which dwells a mind of the same material as that of which the thunderbolt is made.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Don't look back—forward, infinite energy, infinite enthusiasm, infinite daring, and infinite patience—then alone can great deeds be accomplished.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Change is inherent in every form.
Swami Vivekananda

The principles of the Vedanta not only should be preached everywhere in India, but also outside. Our thought must enter into the make-up of the minds of every nation, not through writings, but through persons.
Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda

Only when a man sees this universe as God does the veil fall from his eyes then that man, purified and cleansed, finds his whole vision changed.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is another way in which this idea of mercy and selfless charity can be put into practice that is, by looking upon work as worship in case we believe in a Personal God. Here we give up all the fruits our work unto the Lord, and worshipping Him thus, we have no right to expect anything from man kind for the work we do.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Christ said, Resist not evil, and we do not understand it until we discover that it is not only moral but actually the best policy, for anger is loss of energy to the man who displays it. You should not allow your minds to come into those brain-combinations of anger and hatred.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Holiness sincerity, and faith.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Ahimsa (non-killing), truthfulness, purity, mercy, and godliness are always to be kept.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Love for yourselves means [in the end] love for everything.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Every one wants to command, and no one wants to obey and this is owing to the absence of that wonderful brahmacharya system of yore. First, learn to obey. The command will come by itself. Always first learn to be a servant, and then you will be fit to be a master.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Religion is not in fault.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If superstition enters, the brain is gone.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Where you find the attraction for lust and wealth considerably diminished, to whatever creed he may belong, know that his inner spirit is awakening.
