Image
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
Image
Even the lowest of the Hindus, the Pariah, has less of the brute in him than a Briton in a similar social status. This is the result of an old and excellent religious civilization. This evolution to a higher spiritual state is possible only through discipline and education.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. Where goest thou to seek for the Kingdom of God, asks Jesus of Nazareth, when it is there, within you? Cleanse the spirit, and it is there. It is already yours. How can you get what is not yours? It is yours by right. You are the heirs of immortality, sons of the Eternal Father.
Swami Vivekananda

Matter is motion outside, mind is motion inside.
Swami Vivekananda

Perfection is always infinite. We are the Infinite already. You and I, and all beings, are trying to manifest that infinity.
Swami Vivekananda

Nothing else is necessary but these - love, sincerity, and patience.
Swami Vivekananda

The Hindus have cultivated the power of analysis and abstraction. No nation has yet produced a grammar like that of Panini.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
When we come to nonattachment, then we can understand the marvelous mystery of the universe: how it is intense activity and at the same time intense peace, how it is work every moment and rest every moment.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Purity, patience and perseverance are the three essentials to success and above all love.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We have none of us seen a form which had not a beginning and will not have an end.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The test of Ahimsa is absence of jealousy.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I have come to this conclusion that there is only one country in the world which understands religion - it is India.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Purity, perseverance, and energy- these three I want.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Let me die fighting. Two years of physical suffering have taken from me twenty years of life. But the soul changes not, does it? It is there, the same madcap - Atman - mad upon one idea, intent and intense.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man is the apex of the only world we can ever know.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You have no more anger when you are all love, bliss, infinite existence. . . .
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Perfection is always infinite.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man is a degeneration of what he was.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Renunciation is the background of all religious thought wherever it be, and you will always find that as this idea of renunciation lessens, the more will the senses creep into the field of religion, and spirituality will decrease in the same ratio.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Love for yourselves means [in the end] love for everything.
Swami Vivekananda
