No doubt it is an evil to be bound by laws, but it is necessary at the immature stage to be guided by rules in other words, as the Master used to say that the sapling must be hedged round, and so on.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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
Image
These tremendous contradictions in our intellect, in our knowledge, yea, in all the facts of our life face us on all sides.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Thirst after body is the great bane of human life.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The nearer we are to God, the less we will have occasions to cry or weep. The further we are from God, the more will long faces come. The more we know God, the more misery vanishes.
Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
Image
Strength and manliness are virtue weakness and cowardice are sin.
Swami Vivekananda

If there is one word that you find coming out like a bomb from the Upanishads, bursting like a bombshell upon masses of ignorance, it is the word fearlessness.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We must become free. We are free the work is to know it. We must give up all slavery, all bondage of whatever kind. We must not only give up our bondage to earth and everything and everybody on earth, but also to all ideas of heaven and happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This caste system had grown by the practice of the son always following the business of the father.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Anything that is western origin, first you verify it, then accept it. Anything that is Indian origin, first accept it, then verify it if necessary.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This World will always continue to be a mixture of Good and Evil. Our duty is to sympathize with the weak and to Love even the wrongdoer.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
That is good. It is a law of nature. That is the way with all founders of religion. Without persecution superior ideas cannot penetrate into the heart of society.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We do not seek to thrust the principles of our religion upon anyone. The fundamental principles of our religion forbid that.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Business is business, no child's play.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Christ said, I and my father are one, and you repeat it. Yet it has not helped mankind. For nineteen hundred years men have not understood that saying. They make Christ the saviour of men. He is God and we are worms!

In spirituality the Americans are very inferior to us. But their society is very superior to ours.
