The way to God is the opposite to that of the world. And to few, very few, are given to have God and mammon at the same time.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
When the last moment arrives, praise and blame will be the same to you, to me, and to others. We are here to work, and will have to leave all when the call comes.
Swami Vivekananda
To weep is a sign of weakness, of bondage.
Swami Vivekananda
Ordinary love is mere animal attraction. Otherwise why is the distinction between the sexes? If one kneels before an image, it is dreadful idolatry but if one kneels before husband or wife, it is quite permissible!
Swami Vivekananda
This life is a tremendous assertion of freedom
Swami Vivekananda
Those who are acquainted with the literature of India will remember a beautiful old story about this extreme charity, how a whole family, as related in the Mahâbhârata, starved themselves to death and gave their last meal to a beggar. This is not an exaggeration, for such things still happen.
Swami Vivekananda
None deserves liberty who is not ready to give liberty
Swami Vivekananda
Change of the unchangeable would be a contradiction.
Swami Vivekananda
This is a great fact: strength is life weakness is death. Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal weakness is constant strain and misery, weakness is death.
Swami Vivekananda
You must keep a strict eye on your health let everything else be subordinated to that.
Swami Vivekananda
The guide, the guru, the leader, the teacher, has passed away the boy, the student, the servant, is left behind.
Swami Vivekananda
We do not seek to thrust the principles of our religion upon anyone. The fundamental principles of our religion forbid that.
Swami Vivekananda
We want to lead mankind to the place where there is neither the Vedas, nor the Bible, nor the Koran yet this has to be done by harmonizing the Vedas, the Bible, and the Koran.
Swami Vivekananda
Thoughts are living things - they travel far.
Swami Vivekananda
The greatest truths are the simplest things in the world, simple as your own existence.
Swami Vivekananda
The first angle is, love questions not. It is not a beggar. ... When love asks nothing, [when it] gives everything. This is the real spiritual worship, the worship through love. Whether God is merciful is no longer questioned. He is God He is my love. Whether God is omnipotent and almighty, limited or unlimited , is no longer questioned.
Swami Vivekananda
Man makes the mistake of separating himself from God and identifying himself with the body.
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
Impurity is a mere superimposition under which your real nature has become hidden. But the real you is already perfect, already strong.
Swami Vivekananda
These births and deaths are changes in nature which we are mistaking for changes in us.
Swami Vivekananda
Know that the mind which is born to succeed joins itself to a determined will and perseveres.
Swami Vivekananda
