You must all pay attention to your health first.
Swami Vivekananda

This caste system had grown by the practice of the son always following the business of the father.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is implanted in every man, naturally, a strong desire for progress.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Each nation has a theme: everything else is secondary. India's theme is religion.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Each one of us reaps what we ourselves have sown. These miseries under which we suffer, these bondages under which we struggle, have been caused by ourselves, and none else in the universe is to blame. God is the least to blame for it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Stand in that reverent attitude to the whole universe, and then will come perfect non attachment.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Everything is the living God, the living Christ see it as such.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I have come to deal with principles. I have only to preach that God comes again and again, and that He came in India as Krishna, Rama, and Buddha, and that He will come again. It can almost be demonstrated that after each 500 years the world sinks, and a tremendous spiritual wave comes, and on the top of the wave is a Christ.
Swami Vivekananda

Law is death. The more of the law in a country, the worse for the country.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Holiness sincerity, and faith.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This is the great lesson that we are here to learn through myriads of births and heavens and hells - that there is nothing to be asked for, desired for, beyond one's spiritual Self (atman).
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Meditation means the mind is turned back upon itself. The mind stops all the thought-waves and the world stops. Your consciousness expands. Every time you meditate you will keep your growth.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Truth alone triumphs, not untruth. Through truth alone lies the way to Devayana (the way to the gods). Those who think that a little sugar - coating of untruth helps the spread of truth are mistaken and will find in the long run that a single drop of poison poisons the whole mass ... The man who is pure, and who dares, does all things.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
External motion we call action internal motion is human thought.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The infinite library of the Universe is in your mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Whenever there is a conflict between the pure heart and the intellect, always side with the pure heart.
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
Image
If Jesus Christ was not perfect, then the religion bearing his name falls to the ground.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
God is not to be reached by the weak. Never be weak. You have infinite strength within you. How else will you conquer anything? How else will you come to God?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I am proud to call myself a Hindu, I am proud that I am one of your unworthy servants. I am proud that I am a countryman of yours, you the descendants of the sages, you the descendants of the most glorious Rishis the world ever saw. Therefore have faith in yourselves, be proud of your ancestors, instead of being ashamed of them.
Swami Vivekananda
