More quotes by Swami Vivekananda

Image
Spirituality as a science, as a study, is the greatest and healthiest exercise that the human mind can have.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We want today that bright sun of intellectuality joined with the heart of Buddha, the wonderful infinite heart of love and mercy. This union will give us the highest philosophy.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Know for certain that there is no power in the universe to injure us unless we first injure ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Your country requires heroes be heroes your duty is to go on working, and then everything will follow of itself.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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
Image
Mind you, there is no value in learning. You are all mistaken in learning. The only value of knowledge is in the strengthening, the disciplining, of the mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Whatever you believe, that you will be. If you believe yourselves to be sages, sages you will be tomorrow. There is nothing to obstruct you.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Advaita is the only system that gives us complete control over ourselves, takes off all dependence and its associated superstitions, thus making us brave to suffer, brave to do, and in the long run, attain to absolute freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Ordinary love is mere animal attraction. Otherwise why is the distinction between the sexes? If one kneels before an image, it is dreadful idolatry but if one kneels before husband or wife, it is quite permissible!
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We must become free. We are free the work is to know it. We must give up all slavery, all bondage of whatever kind. We must not only give up our bondage to earth and everything and everybody on earth, but also to all ideas of heaven and happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Everything is easy when you are busy. But nothing is easy when you are lazy.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
BY the study of different RELIGIONS we find that in essence they are one.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
So long as you have faith in your Guru, nothing will be able to obstruct your way.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
My hope of the future lies in the youths of character, intelligent, renouncing all for the service of others, and obedient - good to themselves and the country at large
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Present-day Hinduism and Buddhism were growths from the same branch. Buddhism degenerated, and Shankara lopped it off!
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Blows are what awaken us & help to break the dream. They show us the insufficiency of this world & make us long to escape, to have freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A golden chain is as much a chain as an iron one. Shri Ramakrishna used to say that, to pick out one thorn which has stuck into the foot, another thorn is requisitioned, and when the thorn is taken out, both are thrown away. So the bad tendencies are to be counteracted by the good ones, but after that, the good tendencies have also to be conquered.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I am what I am, and what I am is always due to him whatever in me or in my words is good and true and eternal came to me from his mouth, his heart, his soul. Sri Ramakrishna is the spring of this phase of the earth's religious life, of its impulses and activities. If I can show the world one glimpse of my Master, I shall not have lived in vain.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Form and formless are intertwined in this world. The formless can only be expressed in form and form can only be thought with the formless.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If Jesus Christ was not perfect, then the religion bearing his name falls to the ground.
