Renunciation, and renunciation alone, is the real secret, the Mulamantra, of all Realisation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In real meditation you forget the body. You may be cut to pieces and not feel it at all. You feel such pleasure in it. You become so light. This perfect rest we will get in meditation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
We do not seek to thrust the principles of our religion upon anyone. The fundamental principles of our religion forbid that.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Never forget that a man is made great and perfect as much by his faults as by his virtues. So we must not seek to rob a nation of its character, even if it could be proved that the character was all faults.
Swami Vivekananda

The greatest sin is to think yourself weak
Swami Vivekananda

Out of this idea of separation between atom and atom comes all misery.
Swami Vivekananda

All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If in this hell of a world one can bring a little joy and peace even for a day into the heart of a single person, that much alone is true this I have learnt after suffering all my life all else is mere moonshine.
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
Each soul is potentially divine.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
May I be born again and again, and suffer thousands of miseries so that I may worship the only God that exists, the only God I believe in, the sum total of all souls-and, above all, my God the wicked, my God the miserable, my God the poor of all races, of all species, is the special object of my worship.
Swami Vivekananda

Marriage is an institution very safely guarded.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Those who work at a thing heart and soul not only achieve success in it but through their absorption in that they also realize the supreme truth-Brahman. Those who work at a thing with their whole heart receive help from God.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This caste system had grown by the practice of the son always following the business of the father.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
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.

Manushya (man) is a being with Manas (mind) and as soon as his thinking power goes, he becomes no better than an animal.
