Image
The Church tries to fit Christ into it, not the Church into Christ.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
How to transcend the senses without disturbing the health is what we want to learn.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Internal and external nature, mind and matter, are in time and space, and are bound by the law of causation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There is one thing to be remembered: that the assertion 'I am God' cannot be made with regard to the sense-world.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Do you believe in that Infinite, good Providence working in and through you? If you believe that this Omnipresent One is present in every atom, is through and through, Ota-Prota, as the Sanskrit word goes, penetrating your body, mind and soul, how can you lose heart?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
There are the altars, but here is the greatest of altars, the living, conscious human body, and to worship at this altar is far higher than the worship of any dead symbols.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Realize your true nature. That is all there is to do. Know yourself as you are - infinite Spirit. That is practical religion. Everything else is impractical, for everything else will perish.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Do you have the belief in you to move on, even when the whole world is against you, with swords in their hands?
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Everybody is changing.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Take up an idea, devote yourself to it, struggle on in patience, and the sun will rise for you.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You are strong, omnipotent, and omniscient. No matter that you have not expressed it yet, it is in you. All knowledge is in you, all power, all purity, and all freedom-why cannot you express this knowledge? Because you do not believe in it... Believe in it, and it must and will come out.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
That which is nearest is least observed. The Atman is the nearest of the near, therefore the careless and the unsteady mind gets no clue to it. But the person who is alert, calm, self-restrained, and discriminating ignores the external world and, diving more and more into the inner world, realizes the glory of the Atman and becomes great.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We must become free. We are free the work is to know it. We must give up all slavery, all bondage of whatever kind. We must not only give up our bondage to earth and everything and everybody on earth, but also to all ideas of heaven and happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Do not believe a thing because you have read about it in a book. Do not believe a thing because another man has said it was true. Do not believe in words because they are hallowed by tradition. Find out the truth for yourself. Reason it out. That is realization.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Forget not that thy marriage, thy wealth, thy life are not for sense-pleasure, are not for thy individual personal happiness.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All these disciplines are for the purification of the heart. And as soon as it is pure, all truths flash upon it in a minute all truth in the universe will manifest in your heart, if you are sufficiently pure.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We want to know in order to make ourselves free. That is our life: one universal cry for freedom.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Bold has been my message to the people of the west, bolder is my message to you, my beloved countryman.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In Buddha we had the great, universal heart and infinite patience, making religion practical and bringing it to everyone's door.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Wherever in any society there are too many laws, it is a sure sign that that society will soon die. If you study the characteristics of India, you will find that no nation possesses so many laws as the Hindus, and national death is the result.
