More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Forget not that thy marriage, thy wealth, thy life are not for sense-pleasure, are not for thy individual personal happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
Delusion will vanish as the light becomes more and more effulgent, load after load of ignorance will vanish, and then will come a time when all else has disappeared and the sun alone shines.
Swami Vivekananda
The only test of goods things is that they make us strong.
Swami Vivekananda
It is a retarding element creating hatred and anger, and causing people to fight each other, and making them unsympathetic.
Swami Vivekananda
We have none of us seen a form which had not a beginning and will not have an end.
Swami Vivekananda
Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death.
Swami Vivekananda
A certain motion becomes understood when it is referred to a force certain sensations, to matter certain changes outside, to law certain changes in thought, to mind certain order singly, to causation - and joined to time, to law.
Swami Vivekananda
The less the thought of the body, the better. For it is the body that drags us down.
Swami Vivekananda
Prana, according to the Vedanta, is the principle of life. It is like ether, an omnipresent principle and all motion, either in the body or anywhere else, is the work of this Prana. It is greater than Akasha, and through it everything lives. Prana is in the mother, in the father, in the sister, in the teacher, Prana is the knower.
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
Know that the mind which is born to succeed joins itself to a determined will and perseveres.
Swami Vivekananda
The world cares little for principles. They care for persons.
Swami Vivekananda
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
There is no end to the power a man can obtain.
Swami Vivekananda
Where God is, there is no other. Where world is, there is no God. These two will never unite. Like light and darkness.
Swami Vivekananda
Principles must conquer in the long run, for that is the manhood of man.
Swami Vivekananda
If you dare declare that you are free, free you are this moment. If you say you are bound, bound you will remain.
Swami Vivekananda
We have either to progress or to degenerate. Our ancestors did great things in the past, but we have to grow into a fuller life and march beyond even their great achievements.
Swami Vivekananda
Faith, faith, faith in ourselves, faith, faith in God, this is the secret of greatness.If you have faith in all the three hundred and thirty millions of your mythological Gods, and in all the Gods which foreigners have now and again introduced into your midst, and still have no faith in yourselves, there is no salvation for you.
Swami Vivekananda
We, we, and none else, are responsible for what we suffer. We are the effects, and we are the causes.
Swami Vivekananda
