The greatest truths are the simplest things in the world, simple as your own existence.
Swami Vivekananda

In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Even the least work done for others awakens the power within even thinking the least good of others gradually instills into the heart the strength of a lion.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Unselfishness is God. One may live on a throne, in a golden palace, and be perfectly unselfish and then he is in God. Another may live in a hut and wear rags, and have nothing in the world yet, if he is selfish, he is intensely merged in the world.
Swami Vivekananda

According to us, there are three things in the makeup of man. There is the body, there is the mind, and there is the soul.
Swami Vivekananda

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
Brave, bold people, these are what we want.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You cannot take away one atom of matter or one foot-pound of force. You cannot add to the universe one atom of matter or one foot-pound of force. As such, evolution does not come out of zero then, where does it come from? From previous involution.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Spirituality is the science of the Soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Hindus have a peculiar slovenliness in business matters, not being sufficiently methodical and strict in keeping accounts etc.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Advaita is the only system that gives us complete control over ourselves, takes off all dependence and its associated superstitions, thus making us brave to suffer, brave to do, and in the long run, attain to absolute freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Freedom can never be true of name and form it is the clay out of which we (the pots) are made then it is limited and not free, so that freedom can never be true of the related. One pot can never say I am free as a pot only as it loses all ideas of form does it become free.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
As body, mind, or soul, you are a dream you really are Being, Consciousness, Bliss (satchidananda). You are the God of this universe.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The sign of death is weakness.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Throw overboard all idea of jealousy and egotism, once for all. Come on to the practical field with tremendous energy to work, in the fullness of strength! As to the rest, the Lord will point out the way.
