Image
In every attempt there are many obstacles to cope with, but gradually the path becomes smooth.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Eka-Nishtha or devotion to one ideal is absolutely necessary for the beginner in the practice of religious devotion.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Unselfishness is God. One may live on a throne, in a golden palace, and be perfectly unselfish and then he is in God. Another may live in a hut and wear rags, and have nothing in the world yet, if he is selfish, he is intensely merged in the world.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
When death is so certain, it is better to die for a good cause.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Nature grinds all of us. Keep count of the ounce of pleasure you get. In the long run, nature did her work through you, and when you die your body will make other plants grow. Yet we think all the time that we are getting pleasure ourselves. Thus the wheel goes round.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Great work requires great and persistent effort for a long time. ... Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In this external world, which is full of finite things, it is impossible to see and find the Infinite. The Infinite must be sought in that alone which is infinite, and the only thing infinite about us is that which is within us, our own soul. Neither the body, nor the mind, nor even our thoughts, nor the world we see around us, is infinite.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Absolute God of the universe, the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the universe, is impersonal principle.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We are bound to earth by desire and also to God, heaven, and the angels. A slave is a slave whether to man, to God, or to angels.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Say it with pride we are Hindus
Swami Vivekananda
Image
My son, hold fast! Do not care for anybody to help you. Is not the Lord infinitely greater than all human help? Be holy--trust in the Lord, depend on him always, and you are on the right track. Nothing can prevail against you.
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
May blessings and happiness attend every step of your progress in this world.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
God is the ever active providence, by whose power systems after systems are being evolved out of chaos, made to run for a time and again destroyed.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The test of progress is the amount of renunciation that one has attained.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You and I and everything in the universe are that Absolute, not parts, but the whole. You are the whole of that Absolute, and so are all others, because the idea of part cannot come into it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Your way is the best for you, but that is no sign it is the best for another.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
All practice or worship is only for taking off this veil. When that will go, you will find that the Sun of Absolute Knowledge is shining in Its own lustre.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Practice is absolutely necessary. You may sit down and listen to me by the hour every day, but if you do not practice, you will not get one step further. It all depends on practice.
Swami Vivekananda
