More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Know full well that patience is the best means of succeeds.
Swami Vivekananda
The vapour becomes snow, then water, then Ganga but when it is vapour, there is no Ganga, and when it is water, we think of no vapour in it. The idea of creation or change is inseparably connected with will. So long as we perceive this world in motion, we have to conceive will behind it.
Swami Vivekananda
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
You cannot take away one atom of matter or one foot-pound of force. You cannot add to the universe one atom of matter or one foot-pound of force. As such, evolution does not come out of zero then, where does it come from? From previous involution.
Swami Vivekananda
This world is not for cowards.
Swami Vivekananda
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
The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. Where goest thou to seek for the Kingdom of God, asks Jesus of Nazareth, when it is there, within you? Cleanse the spirit, and it is there. It is already yours. How can you get what is not yours? It is yours by right. You are the heirs of immortality, sons of the Eternal Father.
Swami Vivekananda
I am indebted to my mother for the efflorescence of my knowledge.
Swami Vivekananda
Forget not that thy marriage, thy wealth, thy life are not for sense-pleasure, are not for thy individual personal happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.
Swami Vivekananda
The book one must read to learn natural sciences is the book of nature. The book from which to learn religion is your own mind and heart.
Swami Vivekananda
My children, the secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice.
Swami Vivekananda
Each man is perfect by his nature prophets have manifested this perfection, but it is potential in us.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything that you do under compulsion goes to build up attachment.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no end to the power a man can obtain.
Swami Vivekananda
Service to man is service to god
Swami Vivekananda
The essence of our Faith consists simply in this freedom of the Ishta.
Swami Vivekananda
You must keep a strict eye on your health let everything else be subordinated to that.
Swami Vivekananda
With eternal faith in Him, set fire to the mountain of misery that has been heaped upon India for ages - and it shall be burned down.
Swami Vivekananda
All progression is in the relative world.
Swami Vivekananda
