More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Religion and religion alone is the life of India, and when that goes India will die, in spite of politics, in spite of social reforms, in spite of Kubera's wealth poured upon the head of every one of her children.
Swami Vivekananda
Man is the product of two forces, action and reaction, which make him think.
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
Good works are continually being undone by the tons of hatred and anger which are being poured out on the world.
Swami Vivekananda
The sign of vigour, the sign of life, the sign of hope, the sign of health, the sign of everything that is good, is strength. As long as the body lives, there must be strength in the body, strength in the mind, [and strength] in the hand.
Swami Vivekananda
The varieties of religious belief are an advantage, since all faiths are good, so far as they encourage us to lead a religious life. The more sects there are, the more opportunities there are for making a successful appeal to the divine instinct in all of us.
Swami Vivekananda
All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore love for love's sake, because it is the only law of life, just as you breathe to live.
Swami Vivekananda
Those reformers who preach against image-worship, or what they denounce as idolatry - to them I say Brothers, if you are fit to worship God-without-form discarding all external help, do so, but why do you condemn others who cannot do the same?
Swami Vivekananda
To be good and to do good-that is the whole of religion.
Swami Vivekananda
The only way to study the mind is to get at facts, and then intellect will arrange them and deduce the principles.
Swami Vivekananda
Ishvara is the highest manifestation of the Absolute Reality, or in other words, the highest possible reading of the Absolute by the human mind. Creation is eternal, and so also is Ishvara.
Swami Vivekananda
The real work is in the practice.
Swami Vivekananda
The main feature should be the teaching of principles through stories. Don't make it metaphysical at all.
Swami Vivekananda
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
A certain motion becomes understood when it is referred to a force certain sensations, to matter certain changes outside, to law certain changes in thought, to mind certain order singly, to causation - and joined to time, to law.
Swami Vivekananda
We are the sons of Light and children of God. Glory unto the Lord, we will succeed.
Swami Vivekananda
The happiest moments we ever know are when we entirely forget ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
True religion comes not front the teaching of men or the reading of books it is the awakening of the spirit within us, consequent upon pure and heroic action.
Swami Vivekananda
The principles of the Vedanta not only should be preached everywhere in India, but also outside. Our thought must enter into the make-up of the minds of every nation, not through writings, but through persons.
Swami Vivekananda
It is not God's fault. It is our fault that we suffer. Whatever we sow we reap.
Swami Vivekananda
