Image
The body must be properly taken care of. The people who torture their flesh are demoniacal.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You must keep a strict eye on your health let everything else be subordinated to that.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The great Vaishnava religion of India has also sprung from a Tamil Pariah - Shathakopa - who was a dealer in winnowing-fans but was a Yogin all the while.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Do you have the belief in you to move on, even when the whole world is against you, with swords in their hands?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You have no more anger when you are all love, bliss, infinite existence. . . .
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Be an atheist if you want, but do not believe in anything unquestioningly.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Buddha and Christ were second-rate heroes. The greatest men that ever live pass away unknown. They put forth no claims for themselves, establish no schools or systems in their name. They never create any stir but just melt down in love.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This world is not for cowards.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Why should I become angry just because another man has made a fool of himself. Do thou resist not evil! That is what the lovers of God say. Whatever the world does, wherever it goes, has no influence [on them].
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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
Image
Accumulate power in silence and become a dynamo of spirituality.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I do not believe in eternal progress, that we are growing on ever and ever in a straight line. It is too nonsensical to believe. There is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle. The force sent out will complete the circle and return to its starting place.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
How absurd to take the credit of doing the good act on oneself and lay the blame for the evil act on the Lord!
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Bold has been my message to the people of the west, bolder is my message to you, my beloved countryman.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Heart and core of everything here is good, that whatever may be the surface waves, deep down and underlying everything, there is an infinite basis of Goodness and Love.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Meditation means the mind is turned back upon itself. The mind stops all the thought-waves and the world stops. Your consciousness expands. Every time you meditate you will keep your growth.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
As thou thinkest, so art thou.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Religion is not an imitation of Jesus or Mohammed. Even if an imitation is good, it is never genuine. Be not an imitation of Jesus, but be Jesus, You are quite as great as Jesus, Buddha, or anybody else. If we are not ... we must struggle and be. I would not be exactly like Jesus. It is unnecessary that I should be born a Jew.
Swami Vivekananda

What we want is progress, development, realisation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
It is fear that is the cause of our woes, and it is fearlessness that brings heaven in a moment The earth is enjoyed by heroes - this is the unfailing truth.
Swami Vivekananda
