Religion for a long time has come to be static in India. What we want is to make it dynamic. I want it to be brought into the life of everybody.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
It is not God's fault. It is our fault that we suffer. Whatever we sow we reap.
Swami Vivekananda
Man in his true nature is substance, soul, spirit.
Swami Vivekananda
Let us worship the spirit in spirit, standing on spirit. Let the foundation be spirit, the middle spirit, the culmination spirit.
Swami Vivekananda
What is the world that is to be given up? It is here. I am carrying it all with me. My own body. It is all for this body that I put my hand voluntarily upon my fellow human beings, just to keep it nice and give it a little pleasure. It is all for the body that I injure others and make mistakes.
Swami Vivekananda
You know your real nature [to be divine]. You are the king and play you are a beggar. . . . It is all fun. Know it and play. That is all there is to it. Then practice it. The whole universe is a vast play.
Swami Vivekananda
It is the Prana that is manifesting as motion.
Swami Vivekananda
Be an atheist if you want, but do not believe in anything unquestioningly.
Swami Vivekananda
The Christians believe that Jesus Christ died to save man. With you it is belief in a doctrine, and this belief constitutes your salvation. With us doctrine has nothing whatever to do with salvation. Each one may believe in whatever doctrine he likes or in no doctrine.
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
To see God is the one goal. Power is not the goal.
Swami Vivekananda
Have faith in yourselves, be proud of your ancestors, instead of being ashamed of them.
Swami Vivekananda
All motion, either in the body or anywhere else, is the work of this Prana.
Swami Vivekananda
Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.
Swami Vivekananda
Only man makes Karma.
Swami Vivekananda
Always remember that renunciation is the root idea. Unless one is initiated into this idea, not even Brahma and the World - gods have the power to attain Mukti
Swami Vivekananda
The Absolute is the material of both God and man.
Swami Vivekananda
We are the sons of Light and children of God. Glory unto the Lord, we will succeed.
Swami Vivekananda
You and I and everything in the universe are that Absolute, not parts, but the whole. You are the whole of that Absolute, and so are all others, because the idea of part cannot come into it.
Swami Vivekananda
Yes, the words of the Mother can be heard as clearly as we hear one another. But one requires a fine nerve to hear Mother's words.
Swami Vivekananda
One who leans on others cannot serve the God of Truth.
Swami Vivekananda
