More quotes by Swami Vivekananda

Image
Never forget that a man is made great and perfect as much by his faults as by his virtues. So we must not seek to rob a nation of its character, even if it could be proved that the character was all faults.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Religion is the peculiarity of the growth of the Indian mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
It is the nature of the brute to remain where he is (not to progress) it is the nature of man to seek good and avoid evil it is the nature of God to seek neither, but just to be eternally blissful. Let us be God!
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The progress of the world means more enjoyment and more misery too.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Because the Soul is not made of matter, since it is spiritual, it cannot obey the laws of matter, it cannot be judged by the laws of matter.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
First get rid of the delusion I am the body, then only will we want real knowledge.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We should cultivate the optimistic temperament, and endeavour to see the good that dwells in everything. If we sit down and lament over the imperfection of our bodies and our minds, we profit nothing it is the heroic endeavour to subdue adverse circumstances that carries our spirit upward.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Never say any man is hopeless, because he only represents a character, a bundle of habits, which can be checked by new and better ones. Character is repeated habits, and repeated habits alone can reform character.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
To me an Indian is one who has got a Vedantic brain which probes deep and soars high an Islamic body that is vibrant and valiant a Buddhistic heart overflowing with compassion and kindness and Christian limbs of service and sacrifice.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Have faith in yourself, all power is in you, be conscious and bring it out
Swami Vivekananda
Image
One ounce of practice is worth a thousand pounds of theory.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Do not believe a thing because you have read about it in a book. Do not believe a thing because another man has said it was true. Do not believe in words because they are hallowed by tradition. Find out the truth for yourself. Reason it out. That is realization.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You are the creator of your own destiny
Swami Vivekananda
Image
He who has conquered the internal nature controls the whole universe it becomes his servant.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Matter is motion outside, mind is motion inside.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A man must not only have faith but intellectual faith too. To make a man take up everything and believe it, would be to make him a lunatic.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Thirst after body is the great bane of human life.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The present is determined by our past actions, and the future by the present.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Delusion will vanish as the light becomes more and more effulgent, load after load of ignorance will vanish, and then will come a time when all else has disappeared and the sun alone shines.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Today the West is awakening to its wants and the true self of man and spirit is the watchword of the advanced school of Western theologians. The student of Sanskrit philosophy knows where the wind is blowing from, but it matters not whence the power comes so longs as it brings new life.
