More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Man's experience in the world is to enable him to get out of its whirlpool.
Swami Vivekananda
[The seers call him wise] whose every attempt is free, without any desire for gain, without any selfishness.
Swami Vivekananda
Renunciation, and renunciation alone, is the real secret, the Mulamantra, of all Realisation.
Swami Vivekananda
Superhuman power is not strong enough.
Swami Vivekananda
Knowledge can only be got in one way, the way of experience there is no other way to know.
Swami Vivekananda
From attachment comes longing, and longing breeds anger. From anger comes delusion, and from delusion, confused memory. From confused memory comes the ruin of discrimination and from the ruin of discrimination, a man perishes.
Swami Vivekananda
Think of a space in your heart, and in the midst of that space think that a flame is burning. Think of that a flame is burning. Think of that flame as your own soul and inside the flame is another effulgent light, and that is the Soul of your soul, God. Meditate upon that in the heart.
Swami Vivekananda
Ignorance is death, knowledge is life. Life is of very little value, if it is a life in the dark, groping through ignorance and misery.
Swami Vivekananda
One ounce of the practice of righteousness and of spiritual Self-realisation outweighs tons and tons of frothy talk and nonsensical sentiments.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is the epitome of all things and all knowledge is in him.
Swami Vivekananda
Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Matter is motion outside, mind is motion inside.
Swami Vivekananda
The spirit is the cause of all our thoughts and body-action, and everything, but it is untouched by good or evil, pleasure or pain, heat of cold, and all the dualism of nature, although it lends its light to everything.
Swami Vivekananda
The Absolute can never be thought of.
Swami Vivekananda
The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves
Swami Vivekananda
One thing I must tell you. Idolatry in India does not mean anything horrible. It is not the mother of harlots.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything must be sacrificed, if necessary, for that one sentiment: universality.
Swami Vivekananda
Music alone can take you to the Highest!
Swami Vivekananda
I am in every religion as the thread through a string of pearls. Wherever thou seest extraordinary holiness and extraordinary power raising and purifying humanity, know thou that I am there.
Swami Vivekananda
Even the lowest of the Hindus, the Pariah, has less of the brute in him than a Briton in a similar social status.
Swami Vivekananda
