More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
The God which cannot give me food in this world, cannot give me Heaven in the other world
Swami Vivekananda
Charity is great, but the moment you say it is all, you run the risk of running into materialism.
Swami Vivekananda
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
If the mind is pleased with praise, it will be displeased with blame.
Swami Vivekananda
Every time you think of doing some charity, you think there is some beggar to take your charity. If you say, O Lord, let the world be full of charitable people! - you mean, let the world be full of beggars also. Let the world be full of good works - let the world be full of misery. This is out-and-out slavishness!
Swami Vivekananda
The householder must always please his wife with money, clothes, love and faith and never do anything to disturb her. That man who has succeeded in getting the love of a chaste wife has succeeded in his religion and has all the virtues.
Swami Vivekananda
Cowardice is no virtue.
Swami Vivekananda
If the poor boy cannot come to education, education must go to him
Swami Vivekananda
Come out into the Universe of Light. Everything in the Universe is Yours, stretch out your arms and Embrace it with Love
Swami Vivekananda
The perfect man sees nothing but God.
Swami Vivekananda
Man can think of divine things only in his own human way, to us the Absolute can be expressed only in our relative language.
Swami Vivekananda
Perfect sincerity, holiness, gigantic intellect, and all-conquering will. Let only a handful of men work with these, and the whole world will be revolutionized.
Swami Vivekananda
The world cares little for principles. They care for persons.
Swami Vivekananda
If I ask you to plunge into the Ganga or to jump from the roof of a house, meaning it all for your good, could you do even that without any hesitations Just think of it even now otherwise don't rush forward on the spur of the moment to accept me as your Guru.
Swami Vivekananda
The main feature should be the teaching of principles through stories. Don't make it metaphysical at all.
Swami Vivekananda
From attachment comes longing, and longing breeds anger. From anger comes delusion, and from delusion, confused memory. From confused memory comes the ruin of discrimination and from the ruin of discrimination, a man perishes.
Swami Vivekananda
Faith, faith, faith in ourselves, faith, faith in God, this is the secret of greatness.If you have faith in all the three hundred and thirty millions of your mythological Gods, and in all the Gods which foreigners have now and again introduced into your midst, and still have no faith in yourselves, there is no salvation for you.
Swami Vivekananda
The powers of the mind should be concentrated and the mind turned back upon itself as the darkest places reveal their secrets before the penetrating rays of the sun, so will the concentrated mind penetrate its own innermost secrets.
Swami Vivekananda
The less passion there is, the better we work. The calmer we are the better for us and the more the amount of work we can do.
Swami Vivekananda
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
