Quote

The great Vaishnava religion of India has also sprung from a Tamil Pariah - Shathakopa - who was a dealer in winnowing-fans but was a Yogin all the while.

Image
All power is His and within His command.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The cause of today is the effect of the past and the cause for the future.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You have the right to work, but do not become so degenerate as to look for results. Work incessantly, but see something behind the work. Even good deeds can find a man in great bondage. Therefore be not bound by good deeds or by desires for name and fame.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
With eternal faith in Him, set fire to the mountain of misery that has been heaped upon India for ages - and it shall be burned down.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Here lies the secret. Says Patanjali, the father of Yoga, When a man rejects all the superhuman powers, then he attains to the cloud of virtue. He sees God. He becomes God and helps others to become the same. This is all I have to preach. Doctrines have been expounded enough. There are books by the million. Oh, for an ounce of practice!
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The awakening of the soul to its bondage and its effort to stand up and assert itself - this is called life.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Die in obeying commands like a soldier, and go to Nirvana, but no cowardice.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Every one wants to command, and no one wants to obey and this is owing to the absence of that wonderful brahmacharya system of yore. First, learn to obey. The command will come by itself. Always first learn to be a servant, and then you will be fit to be a master.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Delusion will vanish as the light becomes more and more effulgent, load after load of ignorance will vanish, and then will come a time when all else has disappeared and the sun alone shines.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
I, for one, thoroughly believe that no power in the universe can withhold from anyone anything they really deserve.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
He whom the sages have been seeking in all these places is in our own hearts the voice that you heard was right, says Vedanta, but the direction you gave to the voice was wrong.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A monk is not forbidden to marry, but if he takes a wife she becomes a monk with the same powers and privileges and occupies the same social position as her husband.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man as Atman is really free as man he is bound, changed by every physical condition.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Whatsoever has form must be the result of combinations of particles and requires something else behind it to move it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Infinite perfection is in every man, though unmanifested. Every man has in him the potentiality of attaining to perfect saintliness, Rishihood, or to the most exalted position of an Avatâra, or to the greatness of a hero in material discoveries.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In the English character, the give and take policy, the business principle of the trader, is principally inherent.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Let us give out of our own bounty, just as God gives to us.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The law of Karma is the law of causation.
Swami Vivekananda
