More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
I am proud to call myself a Hindu, I am proud that I am one of your unworthy servants. I am proud that I am a countryman of yours, you the descendants of the sages, you the descendants of the most glorious Rishis the world ever saw. Therefore have faith in yourselves, be proud of your ancestors, instead of being ashamed of them.
Swami Vivekananda
Change is always subjective. To talk of evil and misery is nonsense, because they do not exist outside. If I am immune from all anger, I never feel angry. If am immune from all hatred, I never feel hatred.
Swami Vivekananda
We want to know in order to make ourselves free. That is our life: one universal cry for freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause.
Swami Vivekananda
Charity is great, but the moment you say it is all, you run the risk of running into materialism.
Swami Vivekananda
Buddha and Christ were second-rate heroes. The greatest men that ever live pass away unknown. They put forth no claims for themselves, establish no schools or systems in their name. They never create any stir but just melt down in love.
Swami Vivekananda
One atom in this universe cannot move without dragging the whole world along with it. There cannot be any progress without the whole world following in the wake, and it is becoming every day dearer that the solution of any problem can never be attained on racial, or national, or narrow grounds.
Swami Vivekananda
It is faith that makes a lion of a man.
Swami Vivekananda
Meditation means the mind is turned back upon itself. The mind stops all the thought-waves and the world stops. Your consciousness expands. Every time you meditate you will keep your growth.
Swami Vivekananda
All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they may be. Nothing is ever gained by that. You never help one by talking about his fault you do him an injury, and injure yourself as well.
Swami Vivekananda
Sincerity of conviction and purity of motive will surely gain the day and even a small minority, armed with these, is surely destined to prevail against all odds.
Swami Vivekananda
Only those who want nothing are masters of Nature.
Swami Vivekananda
Bold has been my message to the people of the west, bolder is my message to you, my beloved countryman.
Swami Vivekananda
He who has conquered the internal nature controls the whole universe it becomes his servant.
Swami Vivekananda
First, believe in the world - that there is meaning behind everything.
Swami Vivekananda
The main feature should be the teaching of principles through stories. Don't make it metaphysical at all.
Swami Vivekananda
Om is the pointed piece and Dhyâna (meditation) is the friction.
Swami Vivekananda
If one has got power, one must manifest it in action.
Swami Vivekananda
We are bound to earth by desire and also to God, heaven, and the angels. A slave is a slave whether to man, to God, or to angels.
Swami Vivekananda
