More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Our religion teaches that anger is a great sin, even if it is righteous.
Swami Vivekananda
The Kingdom of Heaven is within us. God is within us. He is the Soul of our souls. See Him in your own soul. That is practical religion. That is freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
Purity, patience and perseverance are the three essentials to success and above all love.
Swami Vivekananda
Praise and blame, good and bad, even heat and cold, must be equally acceptable to us.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything is the living God, the living Christ see it as such.
Swami Vivekananda
The less the thought of the body, the better. For it is the body that drags us down.
Swami Vivekananda
If the poor boy cannot come to education, education must go to him
Swami Vivekananda
It is faith that makes a lion of a man.
Swami Vivekananda
We want to worship a living God. I have not seen anything but God all my life, nor have you... He is everywhere, saying, I am. The moment you feel I am, you are conscious of Existence. Where shall we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being?
Swami Vivekananda
The great lesson is, that unity is behind all. Call it God, Love, Spirit. Allah, Jehovah - it is the same unity that animates all life from the lowest animal to the noblest man.
Swami Vivekananda
That is good. It is a law of nature. That is the way with all founders of religion. Without persecution superior ideas cannot penetrate into the heart of society.
Swami Vivekananda
God is the ever active providence, by whose power systems after systems are being evolved out of chaos, made to run for a time and again destroyed.
Swami Vivekananda
We want to know in order to make ourselves free. That is our life: one universal cry for freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
Knowledge can only be got in one way, the way of experience there is no other way to know.
Swami Vivekananda
Practice is absolutely necessary. You may sit down and listen to me by the hour every day, but if you do not practice, you will not get one step further. It all depends on practice.
Swami Vivekananda
Superstitions are all materialism, because they are all based on the consciousness of body, body, body. No spirit there. Spirit has no superstitions - it is beyond the vain desires of the body.
Swami Vivekananda
There is this difference between the love taught by Christianity and that taught by Hinduism: Christianity teaches us to love our neighbours as we should wish them to love us Hinduism asks us to love them as ourselves, in fact to see ourselves in them.
Swami Vivekananda
Feel, my children, feel feel for the poor, the ignorant, the downtrodden feel till the heart stops and the brain reels and you think you will go mad then pour the soul out at the feet of the Lord, and then will come power, help and indomitable energy.
Swami Vivekananda
It is fear that is the greatest cause of misery in the world.
Swami Vivekananda
Be an atheist if you want, but do not believe in anything unquestioningly.
Swami Vivekananda
