Because the Soul is not made of matter, since it is spiritual, it cannot obey the laws of matter, it cannot be judged by the laws of matter.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
The meditative state is the highest state of existence. So long as there is desire, no real happiness can come. It is only the contemplative, witness-like study of objects that brings to us real enjoyment and happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
The seeker's silence is the loudest form of prayer.
Swami Vivekananda
It is fear that is the greatest cause of misery in the world.
Swami Vivekananda
Have fire and spread all over. Work, work. Be the servant while leading, be unselfish, and never listen to one friend in private accusing another. Have infinite patience, and success is yours.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything which has name and form must die. If there are heavens with forms, these heavens must vanish in course of time they may last millions of years, but there must come a time when they will have to go.
Swami Vivekananda
Ignorance is death, knowledge is life. Life is of very little value, if it is a life in the dark, groping through ignorance and misery.
Swami Vivekananda
The test of Ahimsa is absence of jealousy.
Swami Vivekananda
The Impersonal God seen through the mists of sense is personal.
Swami Vivekananda
To devote your life to the good of all and to the happiness of all is religion. Whatever you do for your own sake is not religion.
Swami Vivekananda
Expansion is life. Love is expansion. Love is therefore the only law of life.
Swami Vivekananda
Have faith in your destiny
Swami Vivekananda
Even our smallest attempts are not in vain. We know that nothing is lost.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no power on earth which can be kept long confined within a narrow limit. It cannot be kept compressed too long to allow of expansion at a subsequent period.
Swami Vivekananda
Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death.
Swami Vivekananda
Above all, India is the land of religion.
Swami Vivekananda
Try a little harder, and meditation comes. You do not feel the body or anything else. When you come out of it after the hour, you have had the most beautiful rest you ever had in your life. That is the only way you ever give rest to your system. Not even the deepest sleep will give you such a rest as that.
Swami Vivekananda
If a piece of burning charcoal be placed on a man’s head, see how he struggles to throw it off. Similar will be the struggle for freedom of those who really understand that they are slaves of nature.
Swami Vivekananda
In nature alone are forms. That which is not of nature cannot have any forms, fine or gross. It must be formless.
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
Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.
Swami Vivekananda
