Image
Every work has got to pass through hundreds of difficulties before succeeding. Those that persevere will see the light, sooner or later.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
From the highest god to the meanest grass, the same power is present in all - whether manifested or not. We shall have to call forth that power by going from door to door.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The body is the external coating and the mind is the internal coating of the Atman who is the real perceiver, the real enjoyer, the being in the body who is working the body by means of the internal organ or the mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We shall have to work like lions, keeping the ideal before us, without caring whether the wise ones praise or blame us.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
One atom in this universe cannot move without dragging the whole world along with it. There cannot be any progress without the whole world following in the wake, and it is becoming every day dearer that the solution of any problem can never be attained on racial, or national, or narrow grounds.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Just as the body has its progress and decadence, so also has the mind, and, therefore, the mind is not the soul, because the soul can neither decay nor degenerate.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Purity, patience and perseverance overcome all obstacles. All great things must of necessity be slow.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There may be a million microbes of misery floating about us. Never mind! They dare not approach us, they have no power to get a hold on us, until the mind is weakened.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The cause of today is the effect of the past and the cause for the future.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Have fire and spread all over. Work, work. Be the servant while leading, be unselfish, and never listen to one friend in private accusing another. Have infinite patience, and success is yours.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This perfection must come through the practice of holiness and love.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If I, as an Oriental have to worship Jesus of Nazareth, there is only one way, that is, to worship him as God and nothing else.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A sapling must be hedged about for protection, but when it becomes a tree, a hedge would be a hindrance. So there is no need to criticise and condemn the old forms.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The whole life is a succession of dreams. My ambition is to be a conscious dreamer, that is all.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Spirituality is the science of the Soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We have wept enough. No more weeping, but stand on feet and be men.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
It is clear to us that, for good or for evil, our vitality is concentrated in our religion. You cannot change it. You cannot destroy it and put in its place another.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We have to cover everything with the Lord himself, not a false sort of optimism, not by blinding our eyes to the evil, but by really seeing God in everything.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Freedom can never be true of name and form it is the clay out of which we (the pots) are made then it is limited and not free, so that freedom can never be true of the related. One pot can never say I am free as a pot only as it loses all ideas of form does it become free.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I do not want to get material life, do not want the sense-life, but something higher. That is renunciation. Then, by the power of meditation, undo the mischief that has been done.
Swami Vivekananda
