More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
We shall have to work like lions, keeping the ideal before us, without caring whether the wise ones praise or blame us.
Swami Vivekananda
Have charity towards all beings. Pity those who are in distress. Love all creatures. Do not be jealous of anyone. Look not to the faults of others.
Swami Vivekananda
The progress of the world means more enjoyment and more misery too.
Swami Vivekananda
See how the Ganga flows by and what a nice building! I like this place. This is the ideal kind of place for a Math. (in Belur, West Bengal).
Swami Vivekananda
Superstitions are all materialism, because they are all based on the consciousness of body, body, body. No spirit there. Spirit has no superstitions - it is beyond the vain desires of the body.
Swami Vivekananda
If you really want the good of others, the whole universe may stand against you and cannot hurt you. It must crumble before your power of the Lord Himself in you if you are sincere and really unselfish.
Swami Vivekananda
Arise! Awake! and stop not until the goal is reached.
Swami Vivekananda
Karma is the eternal assertion of human freedom. . . . Our thoughts, our words, and deeds are the threads of the net which we throw around ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
Woman has suffered for eons, and that has given her infinite patience and infinite perseverance.
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
Consciously or unconsciously, we are all striving for perfection. Every being must attain to it.
Swami Vivekananda
Change is the nature of all objective things.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no salvation for man until he sees God, realises his own soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Marriage is the truest goal for ninety-nine per cent of the human race, and they will live the happiest life as soon as they have learnt and are ready to abide by the eternal lesson - that we are bound to bear and forbear and that life to every one must be a compromise.
Swami Vivekananda
When you talk and think of the Absolute, you have to do it in the relative so all these logical arguments apply.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is not in fault.
Swami Vivekananda
All sectarian religions take for granted that all men are equal. This is not warranted by science. There is more difference between minds than between bodies. One fundamental doctrine of Hinduism is that all men are different, there being unity in variety. Even for a drunkard, there are some Mantras-even for a man going to a prostitute!
Swami Vivekananda
Bodies come and go, but the soul does not change.
Swami Vivekananda
Man's free agency is not of the mind, for that is bound. There is no freedom there.
Swami Vivekananda
Those who die, merely suffering the woes of life like cats and dogs, are they men?
Swami Vivekananda
