More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
The less the thought of the body, the better. For it is the body that drags us down.
Swami Vivekananda
The Heart and core of everything here is good, that whatever may be the surface waves, deep down and underlying everything, there is an infinite basis of Goodness and Love.
Swami Vivekananda
He who struggles is better than he who never attempts
Swami Vivekananda
The greatest sin is to think yourself weak
Swami Vivekananda
Throw overboard all idea of jealousy and egotism, once for all. Come on to the practical field with tremendous energy to work, in the fullness of strength! As to the rest, the Lord will point out the way.
Swami Vivekananda
Do not fret because the world looks with suspicion at every new attempt, even though it be in the path of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda
This body is a combination. It is only a fiction to say that I have one body, you another, and the sun another.
Swami Vivekananda
Turn thy gaze inward, wherein resides the Supreme Self.
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
In everything we do, the serpent ego is rising up.
Swami Vivekananda
To the person who desires nothing and does not get entangled in desires, the manifold changes of nature are one panorama of beauty and sublimity.
Swami Vivekananda
There is this difference between the love taught by Christianity and that taught by Hinduism: Christianity teaches us to love our neighbours as we should wish them to love us Hinduism asks us to love them as ourselves, in fact to see ourselves in them.
Swami Vivekananda
No doubt it is an evil to be bound by laws, but it is necessary at the immature stage to be guided by rules in other words, as the Master used to say that the sapling must be hedged round, and so on.
Swami Vivekananda
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
I am indebted to my mother for the efflorescence of my knowledge.
Swami Vivekananda
Brave, bold people, these are what we want.
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
When death is so certain, it is better to die for a good cause.
Swami Vivekananda
The powers of the mind should be concentrated and the mind turned back upon itself as the darkest places reveal their secrets before the penetrating rays of the sun, so will the concentrated mind penetrate its own innermost secrets.
Swami Vivekananda
The world has not gone one step beyond idolatry yet.
Swami Vivekananda
