More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Perfection can never be attained by work.
Swami Vivekananda
A sapling must be hedged about for protection, but when it becomes a tree, a hedge would be a hindrance. So there is no need to criticise and condemn the old forms.
Swami Vivekananda
Bold has been my message to the people of the west, bolder is my message to you, my beloved countryman.
Swami Vivekananda
I am proud to call myself a Hindu, I am proud that I am one of your unworthy servants. I am proud that I am a countryman of yours, you the descendants of the sages, you the descendants of the most glorious Rishis the world ever saw. Therefore have faith in yourselves, be proud of your ancestors, instead of being ashamed of them.
Swami Vivekananda
The only saint is that soul that never weakens, faces everything, and determines to die game.
Swami Vivekananda
What we want is muscles of iron and nerves of steel. We have wept long enough. No more weeping, but stand on your feet and be men. It is man-making theories that we want. It is man-making education all round that we want.
Swami Vivekananda
Why should a Man be Moral? Because this strengthens his will.
Swami Vivekananda
Realize your true nature. That is all there is to do. Know yourself as you are - infinite Spirit. That is practical religion. Everything else is impractical, for everything else will perish.
Swami Vivekananda
Hold to the idea, I am not the mind, I see that I am thinking, I am watching my mind act, and each day the identification of yourself with thoughts and feelings will grow less, until at last you can entirely separate yourself from the mind and actually know it to be apart from yourself.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is the epitome of all things and all knowledge is in him.
Swami Vivekananda
Above all, India is the land of religion.
Swami Vivekananda
No doubt it is an evil to be bound by laws, but it is necessary at the immature stage to be guided by rules in other words, as the Master used to say that the sapling must be hedged round, and so on.
Swami Vivekananda
The Absolute can never be thought of.
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
There is no motion in a straight line. A straight line infinitely projected becomes a circle.
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
You have heard that Christ said, 'My words are spirit and they are life'. So are my words spirit and life they will burn their way into your brain and you will never get away from them!
Swami Vivekananda
Through the grace of the Almighty Power, it is sure to manifest itself in time.
Swami Vivekananda
Comfort is no test of truth on the contrary, truth is often far from being comfortable.
Swami Vivekananda
In a difficulty in the company of the central and the instigator, be successful your central.
Swami Vivekananda
