The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Everything is easy when you are busy. But nothing is easy when you are lazy.
Swami Vivekananda
Marriage is an institution very safely guarded.
Swami Vivekananda
Salvation never will come through hope of reward.
Swami Vivekananda
The whole life is a succession of dreams. My ambition is to be a conscious dreamer, that is all.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion is not in fault.
Swami Vivekananda
From the highest god to the meanest grass, the same power is present in all - whether manifested or not. We shall have to call forth that power by going from door to door.
Swami Vivekananda
Christ said, Resist not evil, and we do not understand it until we discover that it is not only moral but actually the best policy, for anger is loss of energy to the man who displays it. You should not allow your minds to come into those brain-combinations of anger and hatred.
Swami Vivekananda
Where God is, there is no other. Where world is, there is no God. These two will never unite. Like light and darkness.
Swami Vivekananda
Philosophy insists that there is a joy which is absolute, which never changes.
Swami Vivekananda
We should cultivate the optimistic temperament, and endeavour to see the good that dwells in everything. If we sit down and lament over the imperfection of our bodies and our minds, we profit nothing it is the heroic endeavour to subdue adverse circumstances that carries our spirit upward.
Swami Vivekananda
The body and mind are dependent.
Swami Vivekananda
It is the greatest manifestation of power to be calm.
Swami Vivekananda
Man the infinite dreamer, dreaming finite dreams!
Swami Vivekananda
Have faith in yourself, all power is in you, be conscious and bring it out
Swami Vivekananda
Buddha and Christ were second-rate heroes. The greatest men that ever live pass away unknown. They put forth no claims for themselves, establish no schools or systems in their name. They never create any stir but just melt down in love.
Swami Vivekananda
We must be bright and cheerful. Long faces do not make religion. Religion should be the most joyful thing in the world, because it is the best.
Swami Vivekananda
The Hindus have a peculiar slovenliness in business matters, not being sufficiently methodical and strict in keeping accounts etc.
Swami Vivekananda
Thought ceases in meditation even the mind's elements are quite quiet. Blood circulation stops. His breath stops, but he is not dead.
Swami Vivekananda
Nature, body, mind go to death, not we. We neither go nor come. The man Vivekananda is in nature, is born and dies. But the Self we see as Vivekananda is never born and never dies. It is the eternal and unchangeable Reality.
Swami Vivekananda
Bold words and bolder deeds are what we want. Awake, awake, great ones! The world is burning with misery. Can you sleep?
Swami Vivekananda
