There is one thing to be remembered: that the assertion 'I am God' cannot be made with regard to the sense-world.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Realize your true nature. That is all there is to do. Know yourself as you are - infinite Spirit. That is practical religion. Everything else is impractical, for everything else will perish.
Swami Vivekananda
The mistake is that we cling to the body when it is the spirit that is really immortal.
Swami Vivekananda
It may be that I shall find it good to get outside of my body - to cast it off like a disused garment. But I shall not cease to work! I shall inspire men everywhere, until the world shall know that it is one with God.
Swami Vivekananda
How absurd to take the credit of doing the good act on oneself and lay the blame for the evil act on the Lord!
Swami Vivekananda
Only when a man sees this universe as God does the veil fall from his eyes then that man, purified and cleansed, finds his whole vision changed.
Swami Vivekananda
He who asserts he is free, shall be free. He who says he is bound, bound he shall remain.
Swami Vivekananda
It is impossible to think about the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved. It is impossible for a bird to fly on only one wing.
Swami Vivekananda
We never want Him. We say, Lord, give me a fine house. We want the house, not Him. Give me health! Save me from this difficulty! When a man wants nothing but Him, [he gets Him].
Swami Vivekananda
Never say NO, Never say, 'I cannot', for you are INFINITE. All the power is WITHIN you. You can do anything.
Swami Vivekananda
It is fear that is the cause of our woes, and it is fearlessness that brings heaven in a moment The earth is enjoyed by heroes - this is the unfailing truth.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is the epitome of all things and all knowledge is in him.
Swami Vivekananda
Let me die fighting. Two years of physical suffering have taken from me twenty years of life. But the soul changes not, does it? It is there, the same madcap - Atman - mad upon one idea, intent and intense.
Swami Vivekananda
Not believing in the glory of our own soul is what the Vedanta calls atheism.
Swami Vivekananda
We shall have to work like lions, keeping the ideal before us, without caring whether the wise ones praise or blame us.
Swami Vivekananda
He who conquers self conquers all.
Swami Vivekananda
Whenever two particles come together, they are held by a certain attraction and there will come a time when those particles will separate. This is the eternal law. So, wherever there is a body - either grosser or finer, either in heaven or on earth - death will overcome it.
Swami Vivekananda
Law is death. The more of the law in a country, the worse for the country.
Swami Vivekananda
My faith is in the younger generation, the modern generation. Out of them will come my workers. They will work out the whole problem like lions
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
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
