More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Nature grinds all of us. Keep count of the ounce of pleasure you get. In the long run, nature did her work through you, and when you die your body will make other plants grow. Yet we think all the time that we are getting pleasure ourselves. Thus the wheel goes round.
Swami Vivekananda
What is salvation? To live with God. Where? Anywhere. Here this moment. One moment in infinite time is quite as good as any other moment.
Swami Vivekananda
This life is a tremendous assertion of freedom
Swami Vivekananda
This world is nothing. It is at best only a hideous caricature, a shadow of the Real. We must go to the Real. Renunciation will take us to It. Renunciation is the very basis of our true life every moment of goodness and real life that we enjoy is when we do not think of ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
As soon as I think that I am a little body, I want to preserve it, to protect it, to keep it nice, at the expense of other bodies then you and I become separate.
Swami Vivekananda
This universe is the wreckage of the infinite on the shores of the finite.
Swami Vivekananda
Morality is the struggle of the bound will to get free and is the proof that we have come from perfection. . . .
Swami Vivekananda
Until we realise ourselves as the Absolute, we cannot attain to deliverance.
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
Music is the highest art and to those who understand, is the highest worship
Swami Vivekananda
And what causes fear? Ignorance of our own nature.
Swami Vivekananda
All great undertakings are achieved through mighty obstacles. Keep up the deepest mental poise. Take not even the slightest notice of what puerile creatures may be saying against you.
Swami Vivekananda
Every change is being forced upon us.
Swami Vivekananda
You yourself are to blame. This weeping and wailing and knocking your heads into corners [against brick walls, as it were] will not do you the least good.
Swami Vivekananda
If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.
Swami Vivekananda
There are the altars, but here is the greatest of altars, the living, conscious human body, and to worship at this altar is far higher than the worship of any dead symbols.
Swami Vivekananda
That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.
Swami Vivekananda
Happiness presents itself to man, wearing the crown of sorrow on its head. He who welcomes it must also welcome sorrow.
Swami Vivekananda
A form comes out of a combination of force and matter.
Swami Vivekananda
The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. Where goest thou to seek for the Kingdom of God, asks Jesus of Nazareth, when it is there, within you? Cleanse the spirit, and it is there. It is already yours. How can you get what is not yours? It is yours by right. You are the heirs of immortality, sons of the Eternal Father.
