More quotes by 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
Children of those ancient Aryans, through the grace of the Lord may you have the same pride, may that faith in your ancestors come into your blood, may it become a part and parcel of your lives, may it work towards the salvation of the world!
Swami Vivekananda
A wave in the ocean is a wave, only in so far as it is bound by name and form.
Swami Vivekananda
A changeable God would be no God.
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
You are incarnations of God, all of you. You are incarnations of the Almighty, Omnipresent, Divine Principle. You may laugh at me now, but the time will come when you will understand. You must. Nobody will be left behind.
Swami Vivekananda
Chemistry ceases to improve when one element is found from which all others are deductible. Physics ceases to progress when one force is found of which all others are manifestations. So religion ceases to progress when unity is reached, which is the case with Hinduism.
Swami Vivekananda
Each soul is a star and all stars are set in the infinite azure, the eternal sky-the Lord.
Swami Vivekananda
Alcohol is not the answer to all questions
Swami Vivekananda
Self-love is the first teacher of self-renunciation.
Swami Vivekananda
This body is a combination. It is only a fiction to say that I have one body, you another, and the sun another.
Swami Vivekananda
Infinite patience, infinite purity, and infinite perseverance are the secret of success in a good cause.
Swami Vivekananda
A nation is not to be judged by its weaklings called the wicked, as they are only the weeds which lag behind, but by the good, the noble, and the pure, who indicate the national life current flowing clear and vigorous.
Swami Vivekananda
Forget not that thy marriage, thy wealth, thy life are not for sense-pleasure, are not for thy individual personal happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
There may be a million microbes of misery floating about us. Never mind! They dare not approach us, they have no power to get a hold on us, until the mind is weakened.
Swami Vivekananda
The wave is the same thing as the water, the effect is the cause in another form
Swami Vivekananda
Today the West is awakening to its wants and the true self of man and spirit is the watchword of the advanced school of Western theologians. The student of Sanskrit philosophy knows where the wind is blowing from, but it matters not whence the power comes so longs as it brings new life.
Swami Vivekananda
Where God is, there is no other. Where world is, there is no God. These two will never unite. Like light and darkness.
Swami Vivekananda
He who wants to become a Bhakta must be strong, must be healthy.
Swami Vivekananda
Manushya (man) is a being with Manas (mind) and as soon as his thinking power goes, he becomes no better than an animal.
Swami Vivekananda
