Image
Every individual has in himself perfection. It lies within the dark recesses of his physical being.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Praise and blame, good and bad, even heat and cold, must be equally acceptable to us.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Whatever you believe, that you will be. If you believe yourselves to be sages, sages you will be tomorrow. There is nothing to obstruct you.
Swami Vivekananda

I want to start two institutions, one in Madras and one in Calcutta, to carry out my plan and that plan briefly is to bring the Vedantic ideals into the everyday practical life of the saint or the sinner, of the sage or the ignoramus, of the Brahmin or the Pariah.
Swami Vivekananda

The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
Image
It's the coward who says, 'This is fate'...It's the strong who stands up & says 'I will make my fate'
Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
Image
The perfect man sees nothing but God.
Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is no other teacher but your own soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We want to worship a living God. I have not seen anything but God all my life, nor have you... He is everywhere, saying, I am. The moment you feel I am, you are conscious of Existence. Where shall we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
It is fear that is the greatest cause of misery in the world.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The less the thought of the body, the better. For it is the body that drags us down.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Whose meditation is real and effective? Who can really surrender to the will of God? Only the person whose mind has been purified by selfless work.
Swami Vivekananda
