More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
TO worship God even for the sake of salvation or any other reward is equally degenerate. Love knows no reward. Give your love unto to God, but do not ask anything in return even from Him through pray.
Swami Vivekananda
Our best work is done, our greatest influence is exerted, when we are without thought of self.
Swami Vivekananda
Philosophy insists that there is a joy which is absolute, which never changes.
Swami Vivekananda
In this external world, which is full of finite things, it is impossible to see and find the Infinite. The Infinite must be sought in that alone which is infinite, and the only thing infinite about us is that which is within us, our own soul. Neither the body, nor the mind, nor even our thoughts, nor the world we see around us, is infinite.
Swami Vivekananda
Sincerity of conviction and purity of motive will surely gain the day and even a small minority, armed with these, is surely destined to prevail against all odds.
Swami Vivekananda
The present is determined by our past actions, and the future by the present.
Swami Vivekananda
All perfection is there already in the soul. But this perfection has been covered up by nature layer after layer of nature is covering this purity of the soul.
Swami Vivekananda
In Buddha we had the great, universal heart and infinite patience, making religion practical and bringing it to everyone's door.
Swami Vivekananda
What we want is progress, development, realisation.
Swami Vivekananda
Alcohol is not the answer to all questions
Swami Vivekananda
The atom cannot disobey the law. Whether it is the mental or the physical atom, it must obey the law. What is the use of [external restraint]?
Swami Vivekananda
Whatsoever has form must be the result of combinations of particles and requires something else behind it to move it.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything.
Swami Vivekananda
Let new India arise out of peasants' cottage, grasping the plough, out of huts, cobbler and sweeper.
Swami Vivekananda
Are great things ever done smoothly? Time, patience, and indomitable will must show.
Swami Vivekananda
The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause.
Swami Vivekananda
Always discriminate-your body, your house, the people and the world are all absolutely unreal like a dream. Always think that the body is only an inert instrument. And the Atman within is your real nature.
Swami Vivekananda
The sum total or Ishwara may be said to be All-good, Almighty, and Omniscient. These are obvious qualities, and need no argument to prove, from the very fact of totality.
Swami Vivekananda
Our religion teaches that anger is a great sin, even if it is righteous.
Swami Vivekananda
The one who actually succeeds in making himself believe that he is having a good time is the man of splendid physical health.
Swami Vivekananda
