Image
There is only one Soul in the Universe. There is no 'you' or 'me' all variety is merged into the absolute unity, the one infinite existence - God.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We do not seek to thrust the principles of our religion upon anyone. The fundamental principles of our religion forbid that.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Marriage and sex and money the only living devils.
Swami Vivekananda

Even our smallest attempts are not in vain. We know that nothing is lost.

The wave is the same thing as the water, the effect is the cause in another form
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man is guided by the stomach. He walks and the stomach goes first and the head afterwards. Have you not seen that? It will take ages for the head to go first.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Nothing else is necessary but these - love, sincerity, and patience.
Swami Vivekananda

From the high spiritual flights of the Vedanta philosophy, of which the latest discoveries of science seem like echoes, to the low ideas of idolatry with its multifarious mythology, the agnosticism of the Buddhists and the atheism of the Jains, each and all have a place in the Hinduism religion.
Swami Vivekananda

Accumulate power in silence and become a dynamo of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
When we suffer, it is because of our own acts God is not to be blamed for it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The one theme of the Vedanta philosophy is the search after unity. The Hindu mind does not care for the particular it is always after the general, nay, the universal. what is it that by knowing which everything else is to be known. That is the one search.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Even books are nurses, medicines are nurses. But we must work to bring about the time when man shall recognise his mastery over his own body. Herbs and medicines have power over us as long as we allow them when we become strong, these external methods are no more necessary.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All sectarian religions take for granted that all men are equal. This is not warranted by science. There is more difference between minds than between bodies. One fundamental doctrine of Hinduism is that all men are different, there being unity in variety. Even for a drunkard, there are some Mantras-even for a man going to a prostitute!
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The body must be properly taken care of. The people who torture their flesh are demoniacal.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Know it for certain that without steady devotion for the Guru and unflinching patience and perseverance, nothing is to be achieved. You must have strict morality.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Never say NO, Never say, 'I cannot', for you are INFINITE. All the power is WITHIN you. You can do anything.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The ground under the Bilva tree is very holy. Meditating here quickly brings about an awakening of the religious instinct. Shri Ramakrishna used to say so.
