Charity is great, but the moment you say it is all, you run the risk of running into materialism.

More quotes by 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 body and mind are dependent.
Swami Vivekananda
Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.
Swami Vivekananda
Everything is easy when you are busy. But nothing is easy when you are lazy.
Swami Vivekananda
If you can get rid of your attachment to a single thing, you are on the way to liberation.
Swami Vivekananda
This Maya is everywhere. It is terrible. Yet we have to work through it. The man who says that he will work when the world has become all good and then he will enjoy bliss is as likely to succeed as the man who sits beside the Ganga and says, I will ford the river when all the water has run into the ocean.
Swami Vivekananda
Man stands in materialism you and I are materialists. Our talking about God and Spirit is good but it is simply the vogue in our society to talk thus: we have learnt it parrot-like and repeat it.
Swami Vivekananda
See how the Ganga flows by and what a nice building! I like this place. This is the ideal kind of place for a Math. (in Belur, West Bengal).
Swami Vivekananda
Evil company is always to be shunned because it leads to lust and anger, illusion, forgetfulness of the goal, destruction of the will (lack of perseverance), and destruction of everything. (Narada Bhakti Sutra)
Swami Vivekananda
A nation is not to be judged by its weaklings called the wicked, as they are only the weeds which lag behind, but by the good, the noble, and the pure, who indicate the national life current flowing clear and vigorous.
Swami Vivekananda
All growth, progress, well - being, or degradation is but relative.
Swami Vivekananda
The attempt to remove evil from the world by killing a thousand evil - doers, only adds to the evil in the world.
Swami Vivekananda
When you talk and think of the Absolute, you have to do it in the relative so all these logical arguments apply.
Swami Vivekananda
My ideal, indeed, can be put into a few words, and that is: to preach unto mankind their divinity, and how to make it manifest in every movement of life.
Swami Vivekananda
The spirit is the cause of all our thoughts and body-action, and everything, but it is untouched by good or evil, pleasure or pain, heat of cold, and all the dualism of nature, although it lends its light to everything.
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
All is bound by the law of causation
Swami Vivekananda
A man could be in a throne and have no attachment at all another one could be in rags and have many attachments.
Swami Vivekananda
We have to keep the body in good health we have to take care of what we eat and drink, and what we do.
Swami Vivekananda
There is but one temple - the body. It is the only temple that ever existed.
Swami Vivekananda
