This, I have seen in life - those who are overcautious about themselves fall into dangers at every step. Those who are afraid of losing honor and respect, get only disgrace and those who are always afraid of loss, always lose.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Paris is the fountain-head of European civilisation, as Gomukhi is of the Ganga.
Swami Vivekananda
Superstition is great enemy of man but bigotry is worse.
Swami Vivekananda
Forgive offences by the million. And if you love all unselfishly, all will by degrees come to love one another.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfection is always infinite. We are the Infinite already. You and I, and all beings, are trying to manifest that infinity.
Swami Vivekananda
A certain motion becomes understood when it is referred to a force certain sensations, to matter certain changes outside, to law certain changes in thought, to mind certain order singly, to causation - and joined to time, to law.
Swami Vivekananda
One way for attaining Bhakti is by repeating the name of God a number of times. Mantras have effect: the mere repetition of words.... To obtain Bhakti, seek the company of holy men who have Bhakti, and read books like the Gita and the Imitation of Christ always think of the attributes of God.
Swami Vivekananda
So long as you have faith in your Guru, nothing will be able to obstruct your way.
Swami Vivekananda
Do not blame any supernatural being, neither be hopeless and despondent, nor think we are in a place from which we can never escape unless someone comes and lends us a helping hand.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is realization not talk, nor doctrine, nor theories however beautiful they may be. It is being and becoming, not hearing, or acknowledging it is the whole soul becoming what it believes.
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
In everything we do, the serpent ego is rising up.
Swami Vivekananda
Work done for the Self gives no bondage. Neither desire pleasure nor fear pain from work. It is the mind and body that work, not I. Tell yourself this unceasingly and realise it. Try not to know that you work.
Swami Vivekananda
YOU know, I may have to be born again, you see, I have fallen in love with mankind.
Swami Vivekananda
It is a retarding element creating hatred and anger, and causing people to fight each other, and making them unsympathetic.
Swami Vivekananda
Let new India arise out of peasants' cottage, grasping the plough, out of huts, cobbler and sweeper.
Swami Vivekananda
Books never make religions, but religions make books. We must not forget that. No book ever created God, but God inspired all the great books. And no book ever created a soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Do you think there is any other means of achieving progress except through Rajas?
Swami Vivekananda
In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart.
Swami Vivekananda
No one is ever really taught by another each of us has to teach himself. The external teacher offers only the suggestion, which arouses the internal teacher, who helps us to understand things.
Swami Vivekananda
The happiest moments we ever know are when we entirely forget ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
