According to us, there are three things in the makeup of man. There is the body, there is the mind, and there is the soul.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda

Image
Om is the greatest, meaning the Absolute.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they may be. Nothing is ever gained by that. You never help one by talking about his fault you do him an injury, and injure yourself as well.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
God is not to be reached by the weak. Never be weak. You have infinite strength within you. How else will you conquer anything? How else will you come to God?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Because the Soul is not made of matter, since it is spiritual, it cannot obey the laws of matter, it cannot be judged by the laws of matter.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Never turn back to see the result of what you have done. Give all to the Lord and go on, and think not of it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Heart and core of everything here is good, that whatever may be the surface waves, deep down and underlying everything, there is an infinite basis of Goodness and Love.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Egotism, pride, etc. must be given up.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man can think of divine things only in his own human way, to us the Absolute can be expressed only in our relative language.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We can have no conception of God higher than man, so our God is man, and man is God.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
How can there be any progress of the country without the spread of education, the dawning of knowledge?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Many a time comes when we want to interpret our weakness and cowardice as forgiveness and renunciation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Marriage is an institution very safely guarded.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You must have an iron will, if you would cross the ocean. You must be strong enough to pierce mountains.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Wait with patience and love and strength. If helpers are not ready now, they will come in time. Why should we be in a hurry? The real working force of all great work is in its almost unperceived beginnings.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This world is not for cowards.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The more we grow in love and virtue and holiness, the more we see love and virtue and holiness outside. All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm (which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you. It is like the hydrostatic paradox, one drop of water can balance the universe.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Let us give out of our own bounty, just as God gives to us.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The natural ambition of woman is through marriage to climb up, leaning upon a man but those days are gone. You shall be great without the help of any man, just as you are.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
However we may receive blows, and however knocked about we may be, the Soul is there and is never injured. We are that Infinite.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
No authority can save us, no beliefs. If there is a God, all can find Him. No one needs to be told it is warm all can discover it for themselves. So it should be with God. He should be a fact in the consciousness of every person.
Swami Vivekananda
