More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Superstitions are all materialism, because they are all based on the consciousness of body, body, body. No spirit there. Spirit has no superstitions - it is beyond the vain desires of the body.
Swami Vivekananda
Purusha is the great attraction of the universe though untouched by and unconnected with the universe, yet it attracts the whole universe.
Swami Vivekananda
You yourselves are the Being you are seeking.
Swami Vivekananda
Purity, perseverance, and energy- these three I want.
Swami Vivekananda
Astrology and all these mystical things are generally signs of a weak mind
Swami Vivekananda
Who makes us ignorant? We ourselves. We put our hands over our eyes and weep that it is dark.
Swami Vivekananda
A wave in the ocean is a wave, only in so far as it is bound by name and form.
Swami Vivekananda
From the highest god to the meanest grass, the same power is present in all - whether manifested or not. We shall have to call forth that power by going from door to door.
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
When you talk and think of the Absolute, you have to do it in the relative so all these logical arguments apply.
Swami Vivekananda
In one sense Brahman is known to every human being he knows, I am but man does not know himself as he is.
Swami Vivekananda
The less passion there is, the better we work. The calmer we are the better for us and the more the amount of work we can do.
Swami Vivekananda
What can be my highest idea of forgiveness? Nothing beyond myself. Which of you can jump out of your own bodies? Which of you can jump out of your own minds? Not one of you.
Swami Vivekananda
Something cannot be made out of nothing. Nor can something be made to go back to nothing.
Swami Vivekananda
Turn thy gaze inward, wherein resides the Supreme Self.
Swami Vivekananda
If money help a man to do good to others, it is of some value but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.
Swami Vivekananda
Love for yourselves means [in the end] love for everything.
Swami Vivekananda
If you can think that infinite power, infinite knowledge and indomitable energy lie within you, and if you can bring out that power, you also can become like me.
Swami Vivekananda
Do you have the belief in you to move on, even when the whole world is against you, with swords in their hands?
Swami Vivekananda
I am what I am, and what I am is always due to him whatever in me or in my words is good and true and eternal came to me from his mouth, his heart, his soul. Sri Ramakrishna is the spring of this phase of the earth's religious life, of its impulses and activities. If I can show the world one glimpse of my Master, I shall not have lived in vain.
Swami Vivekananda
