It is a good discipline to be forced to work for work's sake, even to the length of not being allowed to enjoy the fruits of one's labour.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
He whom the sages have been seeking in all these places is in our own hearts the voice that you heard was right, says Vedanta, but the direction you gave to the voice was wrong.
Swami Vivekananda
It is a retarding element creating hatred and anger, and causing people to fight each other, and making them unsympathetic.
Swami Vivekananda
God is the ever active providence, by whose power systems after systems are being evolved out of chaos, made to run for a time and again destroyed.
Swami Vivekananda
Karma is the eternal assertion of human freedom. . . . Our thoughts, our words, and deeds are the threads of the net which we throw around ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
Excepting the infinite spirit, everything else is changing. There is the whirl of change.
Swami Vivekananda
Comfort is no test of truth on the contrary, truth is often far from being comfortable.
Swami Vivekananda
Motion is always a relative thing. I move in relation to something else. Any particle in this universe can change in relation to any other particle but take the whole universe as one, and in relation to what can it move? There is nothing besides it. So this infinite Unit is unchangeable, immovable, absolute, and this is the Real Man.
Swami Vivekananda
Service to man is service to god
Swami Vivekananda
The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.
Swami Vivekananda
Every individual has in himself perfection. It lies within the dark recesses of his physical being.
Swami Vivekananda
To realize the spirit as spirit is practical religion. Everything else is good so far as it leads to this one grand idea.
Swami Vivekananda
We have wept enough. No more weeping, but stand on feet and be men.
Swami Vivekananda
Every time you meditate you will keep your growth.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is not an imitation of Jesus or Mohammed. Even if an imitation is good, it is never genuine. Be not an imitation of Jesus, but be Jesus, You are quite as great as Jesus, Buddha, or anybody else. If we are not ... we must struggle and be. I would not be exactly like Jesus. It is unnecessary that I should be born a Jew.
Swami Vivekananda
You know it already that each one of us is the effect of the infinite past the child is ushered into the world not as something flashing from the hands of nature, as poets delight so much to depict, but he has the burden of an infinite past for good or evil he comes to work out his own past deeds
Swami Vivekananda
Woman has suffered for eons, and that has given her infinite patience and infinite perseverance.
Swami Vivekananda
Dependence is misery. Independence is happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything that occupies space has form. The formless can only be infinite.
Swami Vivekananda
If you really want the good of others, the whole universe may stand against you and cannot hurt you. It must crumble before your power of the Lord Himself in you if you are sincere and really unselfish.
Swami Vivekananda
Let him who has courage in his mind and love in his heart come with me. I want none else.
Swami Vivekananda
