More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
The earth is enjoyed by heroes”—this is the unfailing truth. Be a hero. Always say, “I have no fear.
Swami Vivekananda
He who struggles is better than he who never attempts
Swami Vivekananda
Through the senses, anger comes, and sorrow comes.
Swami Vivekananda
Marriage and sex and money the only living devils.
Swami Vivekananda
Life without death and happiness without misery are contradiction and neither can be found alone, because each of them is a different manifestation of the same thing.
Swami Vivekananda
Only those who want nothing are masters of Nature.
Swami Vivekananda
No authority can save us, no beliefs. If there is a God, all can find Him. No one needs to be told it is warm all can discover it for themselves. So it should be with God. He should be a fact in the consciousness of every person.
Swami Vivekananda
God is cruel and not cruel. He is all being and not being at the same time. Hence He is all contradictions. Nature also is nothing but a mass of contradictions.
Swami Vivekananda
The more power there is, the more bondage, the more fear.
Swami Vivekananda
These tremendous contradictions in our intellect, in our knowledge, yea, in all the facts of our life face us on all sides.
Swami Vivekananda
It is clear to us that, for good or for evil, our vitality is concentrated in our religion. You cannot change it. You cannot destroy it and put in its place another.
Swami Vivekananda
There is no salvation for man until he sees God, realises his own soul.
Swami Vivekananda
Be an atheist if you want, but do not believe in anything unquestioningly.
Swami Vivekananda
Men may have given millions of dollars and fed rats and cats, as some do in India. They say that men can take care of themselves, but the poor animals cannot. . .
Swami Vivekananda
The very idea of an infinite in place would be a contradiction in terms, as a place must begin and continue in time.
Swami Vivekananda
Get away from all books and forms and let your soul see its Self. We are deluded and maddened by books, Shri Krishna declares.
Swami Vivekananda
Turn thy gaze inward, wherein resides the Supreme Self.
Swami Vivekananda
And what causes fear? Ignorance of our own nature.
Swami Vivekananda
Be strong, my young friends that is my advice to you.
Swami Vivekananda
Jnana teaches that the world should be given up, but not on that account to be abandoned. To be in the world but not of it-is the true test of the sannyasin.
Swami Vivekananda
