More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Understanding human nature is the highest knowledge, and only by knowing it can we know God. It is also a fact that the knowledge of God is the highest knowledge, and only by knowing God can we understand human nature.
Swami Vivekananda
Impurity is a mere superimposition under which your real nature has become hidden. But the real you is already perfect, already strong.
Swami Vivekananda
The Absolute is the material of both God and man.
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
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
Stamping down the weakness of mind and heart, stand up, saying, I am possessed of heroism, I am possessed of a steady intellect... Never allow weakness to overtake your mind.
Swami Vivekananda
This is the great fact: strength is life.
Swami Vivekananda
I am neither man nor angel. I have no sex nor limit. I am knowledge itself. I am He. I have neither anger nor hatred. I have neither pain nor pleasure. Death or birth I never had. For I am Knowledge Absolute, and Bliss Absolute. I am He, my soul, I am He!
Swami Vivekananda
The test of having ceased to be an idolater is: When you say 'I', does the body come into your thought or not? If it does, then you are still a worshipper of idols.
Swami Vivekananda
Why should I become angry just because another man has made a fool of himself. Do thou resist not evil! That is what the lovers of God say. Whatever the world does, wherever it goes, has no influence [on them].
Swami Vivekananda
He who wants to become a Bhakta must be strong, must be healthy.
Swami Vivekananda
We are ever free if we would only believe it, only have faith enough.
Swami Vivekananda
Cowardice is no virtue.
Swami Vivekananda
The greatest sin is to think yourself weak
Swami Vivekananda
Never say any man is hopeless, because he only represents a character, a bundle of habits, which can be checked by new and better ones. Character is repeated habits, and repeated habits alone can reform character.
Swami Vivekananda
All the powers in the universe are already ours.
Swami Vivekananda
Music alone can take you to the Highest!
Swami Vivekananda
As the cause is, so the effect will be.
Swami Vivekananda
If the poor boy cannot come to education, education must go to him
Swami Vivekananda
You must have an iron will, if you would cross the ocean. You must be strong enough to pierce mountains.
Swami Vivekananda
