More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
In nature alone are forms. That which is not of nature cannot have any forms, fine or gross. It must be formless.
Swami Vivekananda
Always remember that renunciation is the root idea. Unless one is initiated into this idea, not even Brahma and the World - gods have the power to attain Mukti
Swami Vivekananda
Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.
Swami Vivekananda
We are suffering from our own Karma. It is not the fault of God. What we do is our own fault, nothing else. Why should God be blamed?. . .
Swami Vivekananda
My boat is nearing the calm harbour from which it is never more to be driven out. Glory, glory unto Mother! (Referring to the Divine Mother of the Universe.) I have no wish, no ambition now. Blessed be Mother! I am the servant of Ramakrishna. I am merely a machine. I know nothing else. Nor do I want to know.
Swami Vivekananda
It is the greatest manifestation of power to be calm.
Swami Vivekananda
This earth is higher than all the heavens this is the greatest school in the universe.
Swami Vivekananda
This is a great fact: strength is life weakness is death. Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal weakness is constant strain and misery, weakness is death.
Swami Vivekananda
The Buddha is not a person but a (state of) realization to which anyone can attain.
Swami Vivekananda
This body is a combination. It is only a fiction to say that I have one body, you another, and the sun another.
Swami Vivekananda
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
You are strong, omnipotent, and omniscient. No matter that you have not expressed it yet, it is in you. All knowledge is in you, all power, all purity, and all freedom-why cannot you express this knowledge? Because you do not believe in it... Believe in it, and it must and will come out.
Swami Vivekananda
Whatsoever has form must be the result of combinations of particles and requires something else behind it to move it.
Swami Vivekananda
In this external world, which is full of finite things, it is impossible to see and find the Infinite. The Infinite must be sought in that alone which is infinite, and the only thing infinite about us is that which is within us, our own soul. Neither the body, nor the mind, nor even our thoughts, nor the world we see around us, is infinite.
Swami Vivekananda
We must become free. We are free the work is to know it. We must give up all slavery, all bondage of whatever kind. We must not only give up our bondage to earth and everything and everybody on earth, but also to all ideas of heaven and happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
Bold words and bolder deeds are what we want. Awake, awake, great ones! The world is burning with misery. Can you sleep?
Swami Vivekananda
There is nothing beyond God, and the sense enjoyments are simply something through which we are passing now in the hope of getting better things.
Swami Vivekananda
The atom cannot disobey the law. Whether it is the mental or the physical atom, it must obey the law. What is the use of [external restraint]?
Swami Vivekananda
My hope of the future lies in the youths of character, intelligent, renouncing all for the service of others, and obedient - good to themselves and the country at large
Swami Vivekananda
Even the lowest of the Hindus, the Pariah, has less of the brute in him than a Briton in a similar social status. This is the result of an old and excellent religious civilization. This evolution to a higher spiritual state is possible only through discipline and education.
