TO worship God even for the sake of salvation or any other reward is equally degenerate. Love knows no reward. Give your love unto to God, but do not ask anything in return even from Him through pray.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
There is no help for you outside of yourself you are the creator of the universe. Like the silkworm you have built a cocoon around yourself.... Burst your own cocoon and come out as the beautiful butterfly, as the free soul. Then alone you will see Truth.
Swami Vivekananda
The book one must read to learn natural sciences is the book of nature. The book from which to learn religion is your own mind and heart.
Swami Vivekananda
The Hindus have cultivated the power of analysis and abstraction. No nation has yet produced a grammar like that of Panini.
Swami Vivekananda
Eka-Nishtha or devotion to one ideal is absolutely necessary for the beginner in the practice of religious devotion.
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
On this basic - being right and doing right the whole world can unite.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is the nearest approach to Brahman.
Swami Vivekananda
There is implanted in every man, naturally, a strong desire for progress.
Swami Vivekananda
All the powers in the universe are already ours.
Swami Vivekananda
The Land where humanity has attained its highest towards gentleness, towards generosity, towards purity, towards calmness - it is India.
Swami Vivekananda
Say to your own minds, I am He, I am He. Let it ring day and night in your minds like a song, and at the point of death declare : I am He. That is truth the infinite strength of the world is yours.
Swami Vivekananda
If you die, you get to heaven and if you win, you enjoy the earth (Gita). Even if you die in this attempt, well and good, many will take up the work, following your example. And if you succeed, you will live a life of great opulence.
Swami Vivekananda
The world has not gone one step beyond idolatry yet.
Swami Vivekananda
If one has got power, one must manifest it in action.
Swami Vivekananda
The real work is in the practice.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfection is always infinite. We are the Infinite already. You and I, and all beings, are trying to manifest that infinity.
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
My child, what I want is muscles of iron and nerves of steel, inside which dwells a mind of the same material as that of which the thunderbolt is made.
Swami Vivekananda
The test of progress is the amount of renunciation that one has attained.
Swami Vivekananda
The body is the external coating and the mind is the internal coating of the Atman who is the real perceiver, the real enjoyer, the being in the body who is working the body by means of the internal organ or the mind.
