Image
I am in every religion as the thread through a string of pearls. Wherever thou seest extraordinary holiness and extraordinary power raising and purifying humanity, know thou that I am there.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is but one temple - the body. It is the only temple that ever existed.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Brave, bold men, these are what we want. What we want is vigour in the blood, strength in the nerves, iron muscles and nerves of steel, not softening namby-pamby ideas.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
It is the greatest manifestation of power to be calm.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man cannot always think of matter, however pleasurable it may be.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Oh, to live even for a day in the full light of freedom, to breathe the free air of simplicity! Isn't that the highest purity?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
God is one the paths to reach him (religions) are many - just as different rivers, originating in different mountains, traverse different paths, flowing straight or crooked, and at last join the ocean. He is the one Lord of all, the one Soul of all souls.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Marriage or non-marriage, good or evil, learning or ignorance, any of these is justified, if it leads to the goal.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Have faith. We will do
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Indian mind is first religious, then anything else. So this is to be strengthened.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The greatest truths are the simplest things in the world, simple as your own existence.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In a difficulty in the company of the central and the instigator, be successful your central.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We get caught. How? Not by what we give but by what we expect. We get misery in return for our love: not from the fact that we love but from the fact that we want love in return. There is no misery where there is no want. Desire, want, is the father of all misery. Desires are bound by the laws of success and failure. Desires must bring misery.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All practice or worship is only for taking off this veil. When that will go, you will find that the Sun of Absolute Knowledge is shining in Its own lustre.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A tremendous stream is flowing toward the ocean, carrying us all along with it and though like straws and scraps of paper we may at times float aimlessly about, in the long run we are sure to join the Ocean of Life and Bliss.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You know the disease, you know the remedy, only have faith.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
No great work can be achieved by humbug. It is through love, a passion for truth, and tremendous energy, that all undertakings are accomplished.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Internal and external nature, mind and matter, are in time and space, and are bound by the law of causation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We must not forget that what I mean by the conquest of the world by spiritual thought is the sending out of the life-giving principles, not the hundreds of superstitions that we have been hugging to our breasts for centuries.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Get away from all books and forms and let your soul see its Self. We are deluded and maddened by books, Shri Krishna declares.
