More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Spirituality is the science of the Soul.
Swami Vivekananda
The Hindus have a peculiar slovenliness in business matters, not being sufficiently methodical and strict in keeping accounts etc.
Swami Vivekananda
It is the Prana that is manifesting as motion.
Swami Vivekananda
The Absolute can never be thought of.
Swami Vivekananda
When you feel gloomy, think what has been done within the last year. How, rising from nothing.
Swami Vivekananda
Do you believe in that Infinite, good Providence working in and through you? If you believe that this Omnipresent One is present in every atom, is through and through, Ota-Prota, as the Sanskrit word goes, penetrating your body, mind and soul, how can you lose heart?
Swami Vivekananda
All change is in the screen.
Swami Vivekananda
Through the senses, anger comes, and sorrow comes.
Swami Vivekananda
He who is alone is happy. Do good to all, like everyone, but do not love anyone. It is a bondage, and bondage brings only misery. Live alone in your mind - that is happiness. To have nobody to care for and never minding who cares for one is the way to be free.
Swami Vivekananda
What is the world that is to be given up? It is here. I am carrying it all with me. My own body. It is all for this body that I put my hand voluntarily upon my fellow human beings, just to keep it nice and give it a little pleasure. It is all for the body that I injure others and make mistakes.
Swami Vivekananda
Love for yourselves means [in the end] love for everything.
Swami Vivekananda
Die in obeying commands like a soldier, and go to Nirvana, but no cowardice.
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
Everybody is changing.
Swami Vivekananda
Meditation is a sort of prayer and prayer is meditation. The highest meditation is to think of nothing. If you can remain one moment without thought, great power will come.
Swami Vivekananda
Out of Mahat comes universal egoism.
Swami Vivekananda
Two attempts have been made in the world to found social life: the one was upon religion, and the other was upon social necessity. The one was founded upon spirituality, the other upon materialism the one upon transcendentalism, the other upon realism.
Swami Vivekananda
The only saint is that soul that never weakens, faces everything, and determines to die game.
Swami Vivekananda
Do not be afraid of a small beginning. great things come afterwards. Be courageous. Do not try to lead your brethren, but serve them. The brutal mania for leading has sunk many a great ships in the waters of life. Take care especially of that, i.e. be unselfish even unto death, and work.
Swami Vivekananda
Man in his true nature is substance, soul, spirit.
Swami Vivekananda
