More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
The principles of the Vedanta not only should be preached everywhere in India, but also outside. Our thought must enter into the make-up of the minds of every nation, not through writings, but through persons.
Swami Vivekananda
The more we grow in love and virtue and holiness, the more we see love and virtue and holiness outside. All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm (which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you. It is like the hydrostatic paradox, one drop of water can balance the universe.
Swami Vivekananda
Whenever two particles come together, they are held by a certain attraction and there will come a time when those particles will separate. This is the eternal law. So, wherever there is a body - either grosser or finer, either in heaven or on earth - death will overcome it.
Swami Vivekananda
It is not that Christ is superior to Allah, not that Allah is everything and Brahma is nothing, but it is the same one whom you call either Brahma or Allah, or Almighty, or by a hundred other names. The names are different but God is one and the same.
Swami Vivekananda
There cannot be any form unless it is the result of force and matter and all combinations must dissolve.
Swami Vivekananda
Take up an idea, devote yourself to it, struggle on in patience, and the sun will rise for you.
Swami Vivekananda
Man cannot always think of matter, however pleasurable it may be.
Swami Vivekananda
Here in this blessed land, the foundation, the backbone, the life-centre is religion and religion alone.
Swami Vivekananda
Arise! Awake! and stop not until the goal is reached.
Swami Vivekananda
We want today that bright sun of intellectuality joined with the heart of Buddha, the wonderful infinite heart of love and mercy. This union will give us the highest philosophy.
Swami Vivekananda
Forget not that thy marriage, thy wealth, thy life are not for sense-pleasure, are not for thy individual personal happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
Blame neither man, nor God, nor anyone in the world. When you find yourselves suffering, blame yourselves, and try to do better.
Swami Vivekananda
Consciously or unconsciously, health can be transmitted. A very strong man, living with a weak man, will make him a little stronger, whether he knows it or not.
Swami Vivekananda
I love my nation, I cannot see you degraded, weakened any more than you are now. Therefore I am bound for your sake and for truth's to cry, Hold! and to raise my voice against this degradation of my race. Give up these weakening mysticism and be strong.
Swami Vivekananda
Take courage and work on. Patience and steady work - this is the only way. Go on remember - patience and purity and courage and steady work. . . . So long as you are pure, and true to your principles, you will never fail.
Swami Vivekananda
As long as we believe ourselves to be even the least different from God, fear remains with us but when we know ourselves to be the One, fear goes of what can we be afraid.?
Swami Vivekananda
Art is - representing the beautiful. There must be Art in everything.
Swami Vivekananda
One ounce of the practice of righteousness and of spiritual Self-realisation outweighs tons and tons of frothy talk and nonsensical sentiments.
Swami Vivekananda
This universe is the wreckage of the infinite on the shores of the finite.
Swami Vivekananda
Where you find the attraction for lust and wealth considerably diminished, to whatever creed he may belong, know that his inner spirit is awakening.
Swami Vivekananda
