As soon as I think that I am a little body, I want to preserve it, to protect it, to keep it nice, at the expense of other bodies then you and I become separate.

More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
The more we grow in love and virtue and holiness, the more we see love and virtue and holiness outside. All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm (which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you. It is like the hydrostatic paradox, one drop of water can balance the universe.
Swami Vivekananda
In one sense Brahman is known to every human being he knows, I am but man does not know himself as he is.
Swami Vivekananda
God is pure, and the same to all.
Swami Vivekananda
BY the study of different RELIGIONS we find that in essence they are one.
Swami Vivekananda
Have faith in yourselves, be proud of your ancestors, instead of being ashamed of them.
Swami Vivekananda
A tremendous stream is flowing toward the ocean, carrying us all along with it and though like straws and scraps of paper we may at times float aimlessly about, in the long run we are sure to join the Ocean of Life and Bliss.
Swami Vivekananda
Know for certain that there is no power in the universe to injure us unless we first injure ourselves.
Swami Vivekananda
Not believing in the glory of our own soul is what the Vedanta calls atheism.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion for a long time has come to be static in India. What we want is to make it dynamic. I want it to be brought into the life of everybody.
Swami Vivekananda
When we suffer, it is because of our own acts God is not to be blamed for it.
Swami Vivekananda
Law is death. The more of the law in a country, the worse for the country.
Swami Vivekananda
If you are angry, and then happy, the next moment the anger passes away. Out of that anger you manufactured the next state. These states are always interchangeable. Eternal happiness and misery are a child's dream.
Swami Vivekananda
Bold words and bolder deeds are what we want. Awake, awake, great ones! The world is burning with misery. Can you sleep?
Swami Vivekananda
A sapling must be hedged about for protection, but when it becomes a tree, a hedge would be a hindrance. So there is no need to criticise and condemn the old forms.
Swami Vivekananda
All motion in this universe is in the form of waves, successively rising and falling.
Swami Vivekananda
In nature alone are forms. That which is not of nature cannot have any forms, fine or gross. It must be formless.
Swami Vivekananda
Holiness sincerity, and faith.
Swami Vivekananda
The Absolute God of the universe, the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the universe, is impersonal principle.
Swami Vivekananda
Whatever you think, that you will be. If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.
Swami Vivekananda
The essence of our Faith consists simply in this freedom of the Ishta.
Swami Vivekananda
