More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.
Swami Vivekananda
Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is not in fault.
Swami Vivekananda
The real work is in the practice.
Swami Vivekananda
He who wants to become a Bhakta must be strong, must be healthy.
Swami Vivekananda
To work with undaunted energy! What fear! Who is powerful enough to thwart you.
Swami Vivekananda
Calm and silent and steady work, and no newspaper humbug, no name-making, you must always remember.
Swami Vivekananda
Buddha taught kindness towards lower beings and since then there has not been a sect in India that has not taught charity to all beings, even to animals. This kindness, this mercy, this charity - greater than any doctrine - are what Buddhism left to us.
Swami Vivekananda
It is always for greater joy that you give up the lesser. This is practical religion-the attainment of freedom, renunciation. Renounce the lower so that you may get the higher. Renounce! Renounce! Sacrifice! Give up! Not for zero. Not for nothing. But to get the higher.
Swami Vivekananda
Try a little harder, and meditation comes. You do not feel the body or anything else. When you come out of it after the hour, you have had the most beautiful rest you ever had in your life. That is the only way you ever give rest to your system. Not even the deepest sleep will give you such a rest as that.
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
Work and worship are necessary to take away the veil, to lift off the bondage and illusion.
Swami Vivekananda
Wait with patience and love and strength. If helpers are not ready now, they will come in time. Why should we be in a hurry? The real working force of all great work is in its almost unperceived beginnings.
Swami Vivekananda
Only those who want nothing are masters of Nature.
Swami Vivekananda
In spirituality the Americans are very inferior to us. But their society is very superior to ours.
Swami Vivekananda
Brave, bold people, these are what we want.
Swami Vivekananda
The Pariahs, our fellow beings, ought to be educated by the higher castes.
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
The world cares little for principles. They care for persons.
Swami Vivekananda
Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.
Swami Vivekananda
