More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Infinite patience, infinite purity, and infinite perseverance are the secret of success in a good cause.
Swami Vivekananda
If I ask you to plunge into the Ganga or to jump from the roof of a house, meaning it all for your good, could you do even that without any hesitations Just think of it even now otherwise don't rush forward on the spur of the moment to accept me as your Guru.
Swami Vivekananda
Everybody is changing.
Swami Vivekananda
No great work can be achieved by humbug. It is through love, a passion for truth, and tremendous energy, that all undertakings are accomplished.
Swami Vivekananda
Let the churches preach doctrines, theories, philosophies to their hearts' content, but when it comes to worship, the real practical part of religion, it should be as Jesus says, When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret.
Swami Vivekananda
It is the subjective world that rules the objective. Change the subject, and the object is bound to change purify youreslf, and the world is bound to be purified.
Swami Vivekananda
The varieties of religious belief are an advantage, since all faiths are good, so far as they encourage us to lead a religious life. The more sects there are, the more opportunities there are for making a successful appeal to the divine instinct in all of us.
Swami Vivekananda
Just as the body has its progress and decadence, so also has the mind, and, therefore, the mind is not the soul, because the soul can neither decay nor degenerate.
Swami Vivekananda
Where will you go to seek Brahman? He is immanent in all beings. Here, here is the visible Brahman! Shame on those who, neglecting the visible Brahman, set their minds on other things! Here is the visible Brahman before you as tangible as a fruit in one's hand! Can't you see? Here - here - is Brahman!
Swami Vivekananda
Do not say, ‘You are bad’ say only, ‘You are good’, but be better!
Swami Vivekananda
I ask you all so earnestly to open girl's schools in every village and try to uplift them. If the Conditions of women are raised, then their children will, by their noble actions, glorify the name of the Country.
Swami Vivekananda
Don't look back—forward, infinite energy, infinite enthusiasm, infinite daring, and infinite patience—then alone can great deeds be accomplished.
Swami Vivekananda
Know for certain that there is no power in the universe to injure us unless we first injure ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
The more we grow in love and virtue and holiness, the more we see love and virtue and holiness outside. All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm (which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you. It is like the hydrostatic paradox, one drop of water can balance the universe.
Swami Vivekananda
Oh, to live even for a day in the full light of freedom, to breathe the free air of simplicity! Isn't that the highest purity?
Swami Vivekananda
The disciple must have great power of endurance. Bear all evil and misery without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or retaliation. That is true endurance, and that you must acquire.
Swami Vivekananda
All is bound by the law of causation
Swami Vivekananda
Good and evil thoughts are each a potent power, and they fill the universe.
Swami Vivekananda
YOU know, I may have to be born again, you see, I have fallen in love with mankind.
Swami Vivekananda
These births and deaths are changes in nature which we are mistaking for changes in us.
Swami Vivekananda
