If you dare declare that you are free, free you are this moment. If you say you are bound, bound you will remain.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We want to worship a living God. I have not seen anything but God all my life, nor have you... He is everywhere, saying, I am. The moment you feel I am, you are conscious of Existence. Where shall we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If there be no eternal life, still the enjoyment of spiritual thoughts as ideals is keener and makes a man happier, whilst the foolery of materialism leads to competition and undue ambition and ultimate death, individual and national.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Those giants of old, the ancient Rishis, who never walked but strode, of whom if you were to think but for a moment you would shrivel up into a moth, they sir, had time-and you have no time!

Swami Vivekananda
Image
There cannot be friendship without equality.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Stand upon the Atman, then only can we truly love the world. Take a very, very high stand knowing our universal nature, we must look with perfect calmness upon all the panorama of the world.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
To work with undaunted energy! What fear! Who is powerful enough to thwart you.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The sum total of all the cells in an organism is one person so each soul is like one cell and the sum of them is God, and beyond that is the Absolute.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is but one temple - the body. It is the only temple that ever existed.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Have fire and spread all over. Work, work. Be the servant while leading, be unselfish, and never listen to one friend in private accusing another. Have infinite patience, and success is yours.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If there's a God, we must see him and if there's a soul we must perceive it. Otherwise, it's better not to believe.
