Who makes us ignorant? We ourselves. We put our hands over our eyes and weep that it is dark.
Swami Vivekananda
If you have not even a little imagination, you are simply a brute. So you must not lower your ideal, neither are you to lose sight of practicality. We must avoid the two extremes.... You must try to combine in your life immense idealism with immense practicality.
Swami Vivekananda
There are the altars, but here is the greatest of altars, the living, conscious human body, and to worship at this altar is far higher than the worship of any dead symbols.
Swami Vivekananda
When once you consider an action, do not let anything dissuade you. Consult your heart, not others, and then follow its dictates.
Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
To be unselfish, perfectly selfless, is salvation itself for the man within dies, and God alone remains.
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
We are the living devils.
Swami Vivekananda
Strength and manliness are virtue weakness and cowardice are sin.
Swami Vivekananda
No two persons have the same mind or the same body.
Swami Vivekananda
When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.
Swami Vivekananda
Friends or foes, they are all instruments in Her hands to help us work out our own karma, through pleasure or pain. As such, 'Mother' bless all.
Swami Vivekananda
