Image
You have the right to work, but do not become so degenerate as to look for results. Work incessantly, but see something behind the work. Even good deeds can find a man in great bondage. Therefore be not bound by good deeds or by desires for name and fame.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of woman is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on only one wing. There is no hope for that family or country where there is no estimation of women, where they live in sadness. For this reason, they have to be raised first.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
He whose book of the heart has been opened needs no other books.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Superhuman power is not strong enough.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Stamping down the weakness of mind and heart, stand up, saying, I am possessed of heroism, I am possessed of a steady intellect... Never allow weakness to overtake your mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We should cultivate the optimistic temperament, and endeavour to see the good that dwells in everything. If we sit down and lament over the imperfection of our bodies and our minds, we profit nothing it is the heroic endeavour to subdue adverse circumstances that carries our spirit upward.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I hear, Western people say, The world was created for us. If tigers could write books, they would say, man was created for them and that man is a most sinful animal, because he does not allow him (the tiger) to catch him easily. The worm that crawls under your feet today is a God to be.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The brain and muscles must develop simultaneously. Iron nerves with an intelligent brain — and the whole world is at your feet.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You gain nothing by becoming cowards.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
External motion we call action internal motion is human thought.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In every attempt there are many obstacles to cope with, but gradually the path becomes smooth.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Marriage and sex and money the only living devils.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
That is good. It is a law of nature. That is the way with all founders of religion. Without persecution superior ideas cannot penetrate into the heart of society.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Well has it been said that man is the only animal that naturally looks upwards every other animal naturally looks down.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Change is inherent in every form.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Work, my children, work with your whole heart and soul! That is the thing. Mind not the fruit of work. What if you go to hell working for others? That is worth more than to gain heaven by seeking your own salvation... Sri Ramakrishna came and gave his life for the world. I will also sacrifice my life.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The sign of vigour, the sign of life, the sign of hope, the sign of health, the sign of everything that is good, is strength. As long as the body lives, there must be strength in the body, strength in the mind, [and strength] in the hand.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Land where humanity has attained its highest towards gentleness, towards generosity, towards purity, towards calmness - it is India.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is no salvation for man until he sees God, realises his own soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
India is immortal if she persists in her search for God. But if she goes in for politics and social conflict, she will die.
