More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
If I am immune against all anger, I never feel angry.
Swami Vivekananda
Have faith in yourselves, great convictions are the mother of great deeds.
Swami Vivekananda
The essence of Vedanta is that there is but one Being and that every soul is that Being in full, not a part of that Being.
Swami Vivekananda
We are the makers of our own lives. There is no such thing as fate. Our lives are the result of our previous actions, our karma, and it naturally flows that, having been ourselves the makers of our karma, we must also be able to unmake it.
Swami Vivekananda
True religion comes not front the teaching of men or the reading of books it is the awakening of the spirit within us, consequent upon pure and heroic action.
Swami Vivekananda
[The seers call him wise] whose every attempt is free, without any desire for gain, without any selfishness.
Swami Vivekananda
We, we, and none else, are responsible for what we suffer. We are the effects, and we are the causes.
Swami Vivekananda
The greatest help to spiritual life is meditation.
Swami Vivekananda
God is pure, and the same to all.
Swami Vivekananda
Slavery is slavery. The chain of gold is quite as bad as the chain of iron. Is there a way out?
Swami Vivekananda
We want Shraddhâ, we want faith in our own selves. Strength is life, weakness is death. 'We are the Âtman, deathless and free pure, pure by nature. Can we ever commit any sin? Impossible!' - such a faith is needed. Such a faith makes men of us, makes gods of us. It is by losing this idea of Shraddha that the country has gone to ruin.
Swami Vivekananda
It may be that I shall find it good to get outside of my body - to cast it off like a disused garment. But I shall not cease to work! I shall inspire men everywhere, until the world shall know that it is one with God.
Swami Vivekananda
Excepting the infinite spirit, everything else is changing. There is the whirl of change.
Swami Vivekananda
The body is the external coating and the mind is the internal coating of the Atman who is the real perceiver, the real enjoyer, the being in the body who is working the body by means of the internal organ or the mind.
Swami Vivekananda
India is immortal if she persists in her search for God. But if she goes in for politics and social conflict, she will die.
Swami Vivekananda
Take up an idea, devote yourself to it, struggle on in patience, and the sun will rise for you.
Swami Vivekananda
If a man, day and night, thinks he is miserable, low and nothing, nothing he becomes. If you say yea, yea, I am, I am, so shall you be.
Swami Vivekananda
You yourselves are the Being you are seeking.
Swami Vivekananda
Your country requires heroes be heroes your duty is to go on working, and then everything will follow of itself.
Swami Vivekananda
Unselfishness is God. One may live on a throne, in a golden palace, and be perfectly unselfish and then he is in God. Another may live in a hut and wear rags, and have nothing in the world yet, if he is selfish, he is intensely merged in the world.
Swami Vivekananda
