Image
I am neither the mind, nor the intellect, nor the ego, nor the mind-stuff
Swami Vivekananda
Image
In all our Yogas this renunciation is necessary. This is the stepping-stone and the real centre and the real heart of all spiritual culture - renunciation. This is religion - renunciation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man is the product of two forces, action and reaction, which make him think.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The wave is the same thing as the water, the effect is the cause in another form
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Many of us do not believe in any form of idolatry but they have no right to object when others do it.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The whole life is a succession of dreams. My ambition is to be a conscious dreamer, that is all.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If superstition enters, the brain is gone.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Man is the epitome of all things and all knowledge is in him.
Swami Vivekananda

Out of this idea of separation between atom and atom comes all misery.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
He who struggles is better than he who never attempts
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves. That faith calls out the divinity within. You can do anything. You fail only when you do not strive sufficiently to manifest infinite power. As soon as a man or a nation loses faith, death comes.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
So long as the millions live in hunger and ignorance, I hold every man a traitor who, having been educated at their expense, pays not the least heed to them.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The one who actually succeeds in making himself believe that he is having a good time is the man of splendid physical health.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
They alone live, who live for others.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
This rascal ego must be obliterated.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The God which cannot give me food in this world, cannot give me Heaven in the other world
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The more we grow in love and virtue and holiness, the more we see love and virtue and holiness outside. All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm (which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you. It is like the hydrostatic paradox, one drop of water can balance the universe.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The Absolute God of the universe, the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the universe, is impersonal principle.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
If you can get rid of your attachment to a single thing, you are on the way to liberation.
Swami Vivekananda
