More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
I am not talking about what every one of us means by love. Little namby-pamby love is lovely. Man rails in love with woman, and woman goes to die for man. The chances are that in five minutes John kicks Jane, and Jane kicks John. This is a materialism and no love at all. If John could really love Jane, he would be perfect that moment.
Swami Vivekananda
How absurd to take the credit of doing the good act on oneself and lay the blame for the evil act on the Lord!
Swami Vivekananda
Take courage and work on. Patience and steady work - this is the only way. Go on remember - patience and purity and courage and steady work. . . . So long as you are pure, and true to your principles, you will never fail.
Swami Vivekananda
Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.
Swami Vivekananda
He who asserts he is free, shall be free. He who says he is bound, bound he shall remain.
Swami Vivekananda
External motion we call action internal motion is human thought.
Swami Vivekananda
What do you gain in heaven? You become gods, drink nectar, and get rheumatism. There is less misery there than on earth, but also less truth.
Swami Vivekananda
Purusha is the great attraction of the universe though untouched by and unconnected with the universe, yet it attracts the whole universe.
Swami Vivekananda
He whom the sages have been seeking in all these places is in our own hearts the voice that you heard was right, says Vedanta, but the direction you gave to the voice was wrong.
Swami Vivekananda
In the English character, the give and take policy, the business principle of the trader, is principally inherent.
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
If I am immune against all anger, I never feel angry.
Swami Vivekananda
Until higher institutions have been evolved, any attempt to break the old ones will be disastrous.
Swami Vivekananda
We are suffering from our own Karma. It is not the fault of God. What we do is our own fault, nothing else. Why should God be blamed?. . .
Swami Vivekananda
Thinking of objects, attachment to them is formed in a man. From attachment longing, and from longing anger grows.
Swami Vivekananda
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
Stand up, be bold, and take the blame on your own shoulders. Do not go about throwing mud at others for all the faults you suffer from, you are the sole and only cause.
Swami Vivekananda
First get rid of the delusion I am the body, then only will we want real knowledge.
Swami Vivekananda
Om is the greatest, meaning the Absolute.
Swami Vivekananda
Ignorance is death, Knowledge is life.
