More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
[The seers call him wise] whose every attempt is free, without any desire for gain, without any selfishness.
Swami Vivekananda
Anything that is in space has form. Space itself has form. Either you are in space, or space is in you. The soul is beyond all space. Space is in the soul, not the soul in space.
Swami Vivekananda
It is a good discipline to be forced to work for work's sake, even to the length of not being allowed to enjoy the fruits of one's labour.
Swami Vivekananda
May the Lord ordain that your son becomes a man, and never a coward!
Swami Vivekananda
We have wept enough. No more weeping, but stand on feet and be men.
Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
He who wants to become a Bhakta must be strong, must be healthy.
Swami Vivekananda
Form and formless are intertwined in this world. The formless can only be expressed in form and form can only be thought with the formless.
Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
This is the great fact: strength is life.
Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda
To work with undaunted energy! What fear! Who is powerful enough to thwart you.
Swami Vivekananda
Good and evil thoughts are each a potent power, and they fill the universe.
Swami Vivekananda
From Him are all name and form all the animals and men are from Him. He is the one Supreme. He who knows Him becomes free.
Swami Vivekananda
The one theme of the Vedanta philosophy is the search after unity. The Hindu mind does not care for the particular it is always after the general, nay, the universal. what is it that by knowing which everything else is to be known. That is the one search.
Swami Vivekananda
My son, hold fast! Do not care for anybody to help you. Is not the Lord infinitely greater than all human help? Be holy--trust in the Lord, depend on him always, and you are on the right track. Nothing can prevail against you.
Swami Vivekananda
The great lesson is, that unity is behind all. Call it God, Love, Spirit. Allah, Jehovah - it is the same unity that animates all life from the lowest animal to the noblest man.
Swami Vivekananda
