More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves
Swami Vivekananda
To devote your life to the good of all and to the happiness of all is religion. Whatever you do for your own sake is not religion.
Swami Vivekananda
We must not forget that what I mean by the conquest of the world by spiritual thought is the sending out of the life-giving principles, not the hundreds of superstitions that we have been hugging to our breasts for centuries.
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
Face the brutes. That is a lesson for all life-face the terrible, face it boldly. Like the monkeys, the hardships of life fall back when we cease to flee before them.
Swami Vivekananda
Om is the pointed piece and Dhyâna (meditation) is the friction.
Swami Vivekananda
Each nation has its own peculiar method of work. Some work through politics, some through social reforms, some through other lines. With us, religion is the only ground along which we can move.
Swami Vivekananda
Have faith. We will do
Swami Vivekananda
Man is the nearest approach to Brahman.
Swami Vivekananda
We believe that every being is divine, is God. Every soul is a sun covered over with clouds of ignorance the difference between soul and soul is owing to the difference in density of these layers of clouds.
Swami Vivekananda
Charity is great, but the moment you say it is all, you run the risk of running into materialism.
Swami Vivekananda
The banyan tree does not mean awakening, nor does the hill, nor the saint, nor the European couple. The lotus is a symbol of regeneration.
Swami Vivekananda
The powers of the mind should be concentrated and the mind turned back upon itself as the darkest places reveal their secrets before the penetrating rays of the sun, so will the concentrated mind penetrate its own innermost secrets.
Swami Vivekananda
It is not God's fault. It is our fault that we suffer. Whatever we sow we reap.
Swami Vivekananda
When you feel gloomy, think what has been done within the last year. How, rising from nothing.
Swami Vivekananda
The present is determined by our past actions, and the future by the present.
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
The power is with the silent ones, who only live and love and then withdraw their personality. They never say “me” and “mine” they are only blessed in being instruments
Swami Vivekananda
A changeable God would be no God.
Swami Vivekananda
That man has reached immortality who is disturbed by nothing material.
Swami Vivekananda
