As soon as you know the voice and understand what it is, the whole scene changes. The same world which was the ghastly battlefield of maya is now changed into something good and beautiful.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
There cannot be any form unless it is the result of force and matter and all combinations must dissolve.
Swami Vivekananda
Here in India, it is religion that forms the very core of the national heart. It is the backbone, the bed-rock, the foundation upon which the national edifice has been built. Politics, power, and even intellect form a secondary consideration here. Religion, therefore, is the one consideration in India.
Swami Vivekananda
The more opposition there is, the better. Does a river acquire velocity unless there is resistance? The newer and better a thing is, the more opposition I will meet with at the outset. It is opposition which foretells success. Where there is no opposition there is no success either.
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
Man is a degeneration of what he was.
Swami Vivekananda
The organs are the horses, the mind is the rein, the intellect is the charioteer, the soul is the rider, and the body is the chariot.
Swami Vivekananda
I do not want to get material life, do not want the sense-life, but something higher. That is renunciation. Then, by the power of meditation, undo the mischief that has been done.
Swami Vivekananda
A man could be in a throne and have no attachment at all another one could be in rags and have many attachments.
Swami Vivekananda
I am persuaded that a leader is not made in one life. He has to be born for it. For the difficulty is not in organisation and making plans the test, the real test, of the leader, lies in holding widely different people together along the line of their common sympathies. And this can only be done unconsciously, never by trying.
Swami Vivekananda
Our best work is done, our greatest influence is exerted, when we are without thought of self.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is the one and sole interest of the people of India.
Swami Vivekananda
An allopath comes and treats cholera patients and gives them his medicines. The Homeopath comes and gives his medicines and cures perhaps more than the allopath does because the Homoeopath does not disturb the patients but allows the nature to deal with them.
Swami Vivekananda
My son, there is no rest for me. That which Sri Ramakrishna called Kali took possession of my body and soul three or four days before his passing away. That makes me work and work and never lets me keep still or look to my personal comfort.
Swami Vivekananda
Weakness is constant strain and misery: weakness is death.
Swami Vivekananda
Why is it that we three hundred and thirty millions of people have been ruled for the last one thousand years by any and every handful of foreigners who chose to walk over our prostrate bodies? Because they had faith in themselves and we had not.
Swami Vivekananda
Law is death. The more of the law in a country, the worse for the country.
Swami Vivekananda
Motion is always a relative thing. I move in relation to something else. Any particle in this universe can change in relation to any other particle but take the whole universe as one, and in relation to what can it move? There is nothing besides it. So this infinite Unit is unchangeable, immovable, absolute, and this is the Real Man.
Swami Vivekananda
Get rid of the bondage of body we have become slaves to it and learnt to hug our chains and love our slavery so much so that we long to perpetuate it, and go on with body body for ever. Do not cling to the idea of body, do not look for a future existence in any way like this one do not love or want the body, even of those dear to us.
Swami Vivekananda
Have faith in yourselves, great convictions are the mother of great deeds.
Swami Vivekananda
The greatest sin is to think that you are weak. No one is greater: realize that you are Brahman. Nothing has power except what you give it.
Swami Vivekananda
