More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
To get any reason out of the mass of incongruity we call human life, we have to transcend our reason, but we must do it scientifically, slowly, by regular practice, and we must cast off all superstition.
Swami Vivekananda
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
I am in every religion as the thread through a string of pearls. Wherever thou seest extraordinary holiness and extraordinary power raising and purifying humanity, know thou that I am there.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is man so long as he is struggling to rise above nature, and this nature is both internal and external.
Swami Vivekananda
What is the use of talking of one's mistakes to the world? They cannot thereby be undone. For what one has done one must suffer one must try and do better. The world sympathizes only with the strong and the powerful.
Swami Vivekananda
The Absolute God of the universe, the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the universe, is impersonal principle.
Swami Vivekananda
God is one the paths to reach him (religions) are many - just as different rivers, originating in different mountains, traverse different paths, flowing straight or crooked, and at last join the ocean. He is the one Lord of all, the one Soul of all souls.
Swami Vivekananda
I am neither the mind, nor the intellect, nor the ego, nor the mind-stuff
Swami Vivekananda
There is, however, only one idea of duty which has been universally accepted by all mankind, of all ages and sects and countries, and that has been summed up in a Sanskrit aphorism thus: Do not injure any being not injuring any being is virtue, injuring any being is sin.
Swami Vivekananda
Even the lowest of the Hindus, the Pariah, has less of the brute in him than a Briton in a similar social status. This is the result of an old and excellent religious civilization. This evolution to a higher spiritual state is possible only through discipline and education.
Swami Vivekananda
Great occasions rouse even the lowest of human beings to some kind of greatness, but he alone is the really great man whose character is great always, the same wherever he be.
Swami Vivekananda
Never turn back to see the result of what you have done. Give all to the Lord and go on, and think not of it.
Swami Vivekananda
Each man is perfect by his nature prophets have manifested this perfection, but it is potential in us.
Swami Vivekananda
The main feature should be the teaching of principles through stories. Don't make it metaphysical at all.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is not mind, he is soul.
Swami Vivekananda
If you are angry, and then happy, the next moment the anger passes away. Out of that anger you manufactured the next state. These states are always interchangeable. Eternal happiness and misery are a child's dream.
Swami Vivekananda
Space-time-causation, or name-and-form, is what is called Maya.
Swami Vivekananda
Om is the pointed piece and Dhyâna (meditation) is the friction.
Swami Vivekananda
We are slaves in the hands of nature - slaves to a bit of bread, slaves to praise, slaves to blame, slaves to wife, to husband, to child, slaves to everything.
Swami Vivekananda
You must also remember that the world has God to govern it, and He has not left it to our charity. The Lord God is its Governor and Maintainer, and in spite of these wine fanatics and cigar fanatics, and all sorts of marriage fanatics, it would go on. If all these persons were to die, it would go on none the worse.
Swami Vivekananda
