More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Salvation never will come through hope of reward.
Swami Vivekananda
The more opposition there is, the better. Does a river acquire velocity unless there is resistance? The newer and better a thing is, the more opposition I will meet with at the outset. It is opposition which foretells success. Where there is no opposition there is no success either.
Swami Vivekananda
Where God is, there is no other. Where world is, there is no God. These two will never unite. Like light and darkness.
Swami Vivekananda
Whenever there is a conflict between the pure heart and the intellect, always side with the pure heart.
Swami Vivekananda
How absurd to take the credit of doing the good act on oneself and lay the blame for the evil act on the Lord!
Swami Vivekananda
All growth, progress, well - being, or degradation is but relative.
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
Ahimsa (non-killing), truthfulness, purity, mercy, and godliness are always to be kept.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything.
Swami Vivekananda
When the last moment arrives, praise and blame will be the same to you, to me, and to others. We are here to work, and will have to leave all when the call comes.
Swami Vivekananda
Do you have the belief in you to move on, even when the whole world is against you, with swords in their hands?
Swami Vivekananda
This is a great fact: strength is life weakness is death. Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal weakness is constant strain and misery, weakness is death.
Swami Vivekananda
Today the West is awakening to its wants and the true self of man and spirit is the watchword of the advanced school of Western theologians. The student of Sanskrit philosophy knows where the wind is blowing from, but it matters not whence the power comes so longs as it brings new life.
Swami Vivekananda
Do not go for glass beads leaving the mine of diamonds. This life is a great chance. What, seekest thou the pleasures of the world? He is the fountain of all bliss. See for the highest, aim at that highest, and you shall reach the highest.
Swami Vivekananda
India is immortal if she persists in her search for God. But if she goes in for politics and social conflict, she will die.
Swami Vivekananda
Change is the nature of all objective things.
Swami Vivekananda
Know this also to be one of the spiritual practices, a discipline for God - realisation. Its aim also is Self - realisation.
Swami Vivekananda
It is fear that is the greatest cause of misery in the world.
Swami Vivekananda
Take courage and work on. Patience and steady work- this is the only way.
Swami Vivekananda
Religion and religion alone is the life of India, and when that goes India will die, in spite of politics, in spite of social reforms, in spite of Kubera's wealth poured upon the head of every one of her children.
Swami Vivekananda
