More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Astrology and all these mystical things are generally signs of a weak mind
Swami Vivekananda
The test of having ceased to be an idolater is: When you say 'I', does the body come into your thought or not? If it does, then you are still a worshipper of idols.
Swami Vivekananda
Never forget that a man is made great and perfect as much by his faults as by his virtues. So we must not seek to rob a nation of its character, even if it could be proved that the character was all faults.
Swami Vivekananda
If there be no eternal life, still the enjoyment of spiritual thoughts as ideals is keener and makes a man happier, whilst the foolery of materialism leads to competition and undue ambition and ultimate death, individual and national.
Swami Vivekananda
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
Jnana teaches that the world should be given up, but not on that account to be abandoned. To be in the world but not of it-is the true test of the sannyasin.
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
With the attraction for lust and lucre working the other way, how many long for the realisation of God?
Swami Vivekananda
Expansion is life. Love is expansion. Love is therefore the only law of life.
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
The greatest truths are the simplest things in the world, simple as your own existence.
Swami Vivekananda
As thou thinkest, so art thou.
Swami Vivekananda
Was there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book? How dare men call God infinite, and yet try to compress Him within the covers of a little book!
Swami Vivekananda
In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart.
Swami Vivekananda
Only by practice and non-attachment can we conquer mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Each soul is potentially divine.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is the highest being in creation, because he attains to freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
Take up an idea, devote yourself to it, struggle on in patience, and the sun will rise for you.
Swami Vivekananda
You are the Children of God, the sharers of immortal bliss, holy and perfect beings. You divinities on earth. Come up, O lions, and shake off the delusion that you are sheep you are souls immortal, spirits free, blest and eternal you are not matter, you are not bodies matter is your servant,not you the servant of matter.
Swami Vivekananda
Never turn back to see the result of what you have done. Give all to the Lord and go on, and think not of it.
Swami Vivekananda
