To give up the world is to forget the ego, to know it not at all - living in the body, but not of it.

More quotes by 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
The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves. That faith calls out the divinity within. You can do anything. You fail only when you do not strive sufficiently to manifest infinite power. As soon as a man or a nation loses faith, death comes.
Swami Vivekananda
Is it freedom to be a slave to the senses, to anger, to jealousies and a hundred other petty things that must occur every day in human life?
Swami Vivekananda
It is faith that makes a lion of a man.
Swami Vivekananda
Renunciation is always the ideal of every race only other races do not know what they are made to do by nature unconsciously.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is the greatest being that ever can be.
Swami Vivekananda
Highest love for God can never be achieved without renunciation.
Swami Vivekananda
Are great things ever done smoothly? Time, patience, and indomitable will must show.
Swami Vivekananda
We want Shraddhâ, we want faith in our own selves. Strength is life, weakness is death. 'We are the Âtman, deathless and free pure, pure by nature. Can we ever commit any sin? Impossible!' - such a faith is needed. Such a faith makes men of us, makes gods of us. It is by losing this idea of Shraddha that the country has gone to ruin.
Swami Vivekananda
Differentiation is in name and form only.
Swami Vivekananda
The nearer we are to God, the less we will have occasions to cry or weep. The further we are from God, the more will long faces come. The more we know God, the more misery vanishes.
Swami Vivekananda
Purity, patience and perseverance are the three essentials to success and above all love.
Swami Vivekananda
Liberty is the first condition of growth. It is wrong, a thousand times wrong, if any of you dares to say, 'I will work out the salvation of this woman or child.
Swami Vivekananda
Let new India arise out of peasants' cottage, grasping the plough, out of huts, cobbler and sweeper.
Swami Vivekananda
When we suffer, it is because of our own acts God is not to be blamed for it.
Swami Vivekananda
As long as we believe ourselves to be even the least different from God, fear remains with us but when we know ourselves to be the One, fear goes of what can we be afraid.?
Swami Vivekananda
According to this philosophy, each man consists of three parts - the body, the internal organ or the mind, and behind that, what is called the Atman, the Self.
Swami Vivekananda
Change of the unchangeable would be a contradiction.
Swami Vivekananda
There is one thing to be remembered: that the assertion 'I am God' cannot be made with regard to the sense-world.
Swami Vivekananda
I stand for truth. Truth will never ally itself with falsehood. Even if all the world should be against me, Truth must prevail in the end.
Swami Vivekananda
