More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Society does not go down because of the activities of criminals, But because of the inactivities of the good people.
Swami Vivekananda
The brain and muscles must develop simultaneously. Iron nerves with an intelligent brain — and the whole world is at your feet.
Swami Vivekananda
TO worship God even for the sake of salvation or any other reward is equally degenerate. Love knows no reward. Give your love unto to God, but do not ask anything in return even from Him through pray.
Swami Vivekananda
We are slaves in the hands of nature - slaves to a bit of bread, slaves to praise, slaves to blame, slaves to wife, to husband, to child, slaves to everything.
Swami Vivekananda
The hard discipline, with the exception of one great good point, is fraught with evil. The good point is that men can do one or two things well with very little effort, having practiced them every day through generations.
Swami Vivekananda
The first angle is, love questions not. It is not a beggar. ... When love asks nothing, [when it] gives everything. This is the real spiritual worship, the worship through love. Whether God is merciful is no longer questioned. He is God He is my love. Whether God is omnipotent and almighty, limited or unlimited , is no longer questioned.
Swami Vivekananda
Never say NO, Never say, 'I cannot', for you are INFINITE. All the power is WITHIN you. You can do anything.
Swami Vivekananda
The man who becomes angry never does a great amount of work, and the man whom nothing can make angry accomplishes so much.
Swami Vivekananda
We are the sons of Light and children of God. Glory unto the Lord, we will succeed.
Swami Vivekananda
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all good things will be added unto you. Follow God and you shall have whatever you desire.
Swami Vivekananda
This life is a tremendous assertion of freedom
Swami Vivekananda
Man only remains hypnotised with the false idea of an ego. When this ghost is off from us, all dreams vanish, and then it is found that the one Self only exists from the highest Being to a blade of grass.
Swami Vivekananda
Never turn back to see the result of what you have done. Give all to the Lord and go on, and think not of it.
Swami Vivekananda
The Hindus have a peculiar slovenliness in business matters, not being sufficiently methodical and strict in keeping accounts etc.
Swami Vivekananda
The meditative state is the highest state of existence. So long as there is desire, no real happiness can come. It is only the contemplative, witness-like study of objects that brings to us real enjoyment and happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no virtue higher than non-injury.
Swami Vivekananda
With the Holy Mother as the centre of inspiration, a Math is to be established on the eastern bank of the Ganga. . . . On the other side of the Ganga a big plot of land will be acquired, where unmarried girls or Brahmacharini widows will live devout married women will also be allowed to stay now and then. Men will have no concern with this Math.
Swami Vivekananda
If Jesus Christ was not perfect, then the religion bearing his name falls to the ground.
Swami Vivekananda
Stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny.
Swami Vivekananda
Excessive attention to the minutiae of astrology is one of the superstitions which has hurt the Hindus very much.
