More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
A Sannyasin cannot belong to any religion, for his is a life of independent thought, which draws from all religions his is a life of realisation, not merely of theory or belief, much less of dogma.
Swami Vivekananda
Buddha taught kindness towards lower beings and since then there has not been a sect in India that has not taught charity to all beings, even to animals. This kindness, this mercy, this charity - greater than any doctrine - are what Buddhism left to us.
Swami Vivekananda
What we want now is an immense awakening of Râjasika energy, for the whole country is wrapped in the shroud of Tamas. The people of this land must be fed and clothed-must be awakened -must be made more fully active. Otherwise they will become inert, as inert as trees and stones. So, I say, eat large quantities of fish and meat, my boy!
Swami Vivekananda
All the powers in the universe are already ours.
Swami Vivekananda
I love my nation, I cannot see you degraded, weakened any more than you are now. Therefore I am bound for your sake and for truth's to cry, Hold! and to raise my voice against this degradation of my race. Give up these weakening mysticism and be strong.

Swami Vivekananda
Many of us do not believe in any form of idolatry but they have no right to object when others do it.
Swami Vivekananda
Books are only made so that they may point the way to a higher life but no good results unless the path is trodden with unflinching steps!
Swami Vivekananda
Man's experience in the world is to enable him to get out of its whirlpool.
Swami Vivekananda
Just as man must have liberty to think and speak, so he must have liberty in food, dress, and marriage, and in every other thing, so long as he does not injure others.
Swami Vivekananda
It is nature that is changing, not the soul of man. This never changes.
Swami Vivekananda
If you can get rid of your attachment to a single thing, you are on the way to liberation.
